COLLEGE PLANNING

It is not too early to begin thinking about college planning. From a college admissions point of view, Sophomore year is one of the most important years. Now is the time to explore colleges and majors.  Assume you’ll need SAT/ACT scores when you apply to college — odds are good that most schools will return to requiring the tests!
Take the PSAT 10 if your school offers it —this is a great chance to calibrate your prep for the PSAT/NMSQT next year. Continue to earn great grades in rigorous classes If nothing else, pick up a good book and read!!! Enhancing your reading skills will not only help you on college entrance exams, but also prepare you for success in college.
