Freshmen – 9th Grade:
Plan a rigorous curriculum, and don’t skimp on math. Here is an example of a typical course of study. Adjust it to meet your needs.
Sophomores – 10th Grade:
Take the PSAT “for fun” in October. Take a sample SAT and ACT test, and see which one you prefer. Learn how to write a 25-minute essay.
Juniors – 11th Grade:
Take the PSAT “for real” in October. You will be asked to list your favorite college. Go to college fairs, and decide on a long list of colleges you want to visit.
Seniors – 12th Grade:
Start college applications! They take a LONG time and a lot of effort, and sometimes scholarship money is “first come, first served.” Take the ACT or SAT if you haven’t yet, or if you can significantly raise your score by taking it again.
Homeschool Parents:
During the PSAT, students will be asked about their classes and grades, so you may want to explain that to them. It also asks about college majors and career interests. Colleges use that to contact students they want to attract.
