10th Grade/Sophomore Year
- Talk with your guidance counselor about:
- The high school curriculum needed to satisfy the requirements of the colleges you are interested in attending.
- What AP, IB and other honors-level courses are available, whether you're eligible, and how to enroll in them.
- Update your file or start one if you haven't already. (See 9th Grade for a list of what it should contain.)
- Continue extracurricular activities, as admissions officers look at extracurricular activities.
- Continue participation in academic enrichment programs, summer workshops and camps with specialty focuses such as music, arts, science, etc.
- Prepare for the ACT PLAN test, which the state requires sophomores in public high schools to take. It will help you prepare for the ACT, which you must take as a junior if you attend a public high school.
- Consider taking the PSAT in October. Your scores won't count for National Merit Scholar consideration since you're a sophomore, but it's good practice for when you take the PSAT as a junior year, when the scores will count, and for the SAT.
- Register in April for any SAT II subject tests you want to take in June.
