Q:

When referring to student loans what is a grace period?

A) 6 months B) 12 months
C) 18 months D) 24 months
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6 months

Explanation:

6 months after graduating or quitting school when you have to start paying back the loans.

 

A grace period is one term that’s provided for student loans that allow you to delay payments up to a certain length of time, without penalty. During a grace period no late charges would apply, and the loan would not risk falling into default for missed payments. The grace period allows you time to find financial stability prior to having to make payments on your student loans.

 

Many students use student loans to help pay for their college expenses, including tuition, books, room and board, and other living expenses. Students are expected to repay these loans when they graduate.

Q:

Saving accounts usually offer ___ interest rates than checking accounts.

A) Higher B) Lower
C) Equal D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Higher

Explanation:

A savings account is the most basic type of account at a bank or credit union, allowing you to deposit money, keep the funds safe, and withdraw funds as needed. Savings accounts typically pay interest on your deposits, which helps you grow your money, but rates are relatively low on these low-risk accounts.


A checking account is a deposit account held at a financial institution that allows withdrawals and deposits. Also called demand accounts or transactional accounts, checking accounts are very liquid and can be accessed using checks, automated teller machines and electronic debits, among other methods.

 

Hence, Saving accounts usually offer higher interest rates than checking accounts.
