InseSophomores and Juniors across the Bay have completed their PSAT, and now are wondering what comes next? The next few months are critical to enhancing their college applications and strengthening their test taking skills. Here are a few things to keep in mind as the first semester starts to wrap up.
Spring Standardized Testing
Is your junior registered for their Spring SAT or ACT test date? Have they determined which test they are pursuing? Taking a diagnostic test helps students decide which exam is the best fit. Reminder that local testing sites fill up quickly.
Final Exams
How is your sophomore and junior doing in their classes? A high GPA is important for college applications, graduation requirements, and sports enrollment. For extra support, it’s a great idea to connect 1:1 with a tutor for academic support to get ample time for preparation.
AP Exams
It’s never too early to start thinking about AP exams! These tests are key pieces to your student’s transcripts and potential college credits. AJ Tutoring’s AP students often transition from academic support to test prep support in the Spring semester. This way they are working with someone all year long who understands their learning style and can offer customized support!
College Application Essays and Counseling
Is your sophomore or junior already working with a college counselor to maximize their scheduled courses, extracurricular activities, scholarship opportunities and more? Start working with a college counselor who can help guide students through the application process and set them up for success.
Next Steps
Wondering what your student’s next steps should be after the PSAT? Is your student asking you, “Now what?”. It’s important to create a personalized action plan. Planning early always sets students up for success. AJ Tutoring can help with kickstart planning by determining test dates, finalizing course selections, or starting college essays. Take the next steps to ensure your student stays on track!
