Does my high school course plan include
challenging college prep courses?
What skills do I need to work on to be sure I am on target for college?
How can I learn more about careers that interest me?
Students, ask yourself…
Set a regular time and place to study each day and throughout the week.
Keep a daily “to do” list. Set goals for yourself. Do your reading assignments before the
material is discussed in class. Pay close attention and take good notes in class. Prepare for tests during your regular study times
instead of cramming at the last minute.
