Sophomore Checklist
1. Begin practicing for the ACT. Free practice tests available online.
2. Consider your career interests and goals once again. Talk with your school
counselor and others about these interests and find out the kind of education
you will need to meet your career goals.
3. Check to see that your course schedule is matching up with your intended
diploma and the career path you want to pursue. If you do not have a clear career
path at this point, be sure you are on a high school diploma track that will maximize
your college options.
4. Begin to consider what you may want in a college. Search websites and
other resources for more information on colleges that peak your interest.
5. Start visiting colleges. Schedule a tour or attend a general information session
at area colleges. Take advantage of on-campus programs at local colleges
whenever possible.
6. Continue documenting your in-school achievements and activities (athletics,
music, etc.) Having this information handy and well-organized will be very important
when it comes time to complete college and scholarship applications.
7. Continue to save for college. Every family must contribute toward the cost of
attending college. Although the college years may not be far off, remember that
anything you and your family can put away now will be welcomed assistance
when the time comes.
