• Continue good study habits – you will be receiving more long term assignments and projects, and procrastinating will catch up with you!

• Get organized!  An assignment notebook and an organized binder will be essential to keeping up with all your courses.

• Participate in extracurricular activities that interest you – colleges prefer consistent involvement in a few activities for 2-3 years rather than “dabbling” in a lot of activities for a short period of time.

• Keep your Activities Resume updated.

• Start some online college searches and investigate a variety of majors.  See the Guidance Links for some great search websites.

• Continue to read daily to improve your vocabulary and comprehension.

• Take every opportunity to get feedback on your writing – seek to make fewer errors in the technical aspects, especially spelling and grammar.  (Hint: read your work out loud – it’s a great way to find errors.)

• Visit colleges if you will be home during the summer.

• Take the PSAT in October – it will be good practice, it doesn’t cost much, and you will get your test booklet back so you can find out which questions you missed – and why.

• Plan your course schedule for your 11th and 12th grade years to make sure you can fit in all the courses you want to take, especially if you want to fit in AP Courses before you graduate.
