TASK TO COMPLETE IN YOUR SOPHOMORE YEAR
SOPHOMORE YEAR WORK PLAN
A couple of recommended sophomore tasks include taking the PSAT to familiarize yourself with the ACT and SAT testing format as well as beginning the search for where you might want to go for college and what you might want to do professionally.
SECOND YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL!
This year counts because it’s when students begin building the foundation for their future goals. Grades from this year often appear on transcripts reviewed by colleges, and the courses taken help shape options for advanced classes and college readiness. It’s also the perfect time to explore personal interests, strengthen study habits, and set goals that can open doors to scholarships and future opportunities.
