Maintain your co-curricular record (all year). October Junior year PSAT scores may qualify a student for the National Merit Scholarship Competition and the National Achievement and the National Hispanic Scholars Programs. So, even though these scores will not be used for college admission, it is still a good idea to take the PSAT. The more times you take standardized tests, the more familiar you will become with the format and the types of questions asked. If you wish to receive free information from colleges, indicate on the PSAT test answer form that you want to participate in the Student Search. November Junior year grades are extremely important in the college admission process, because they are a measure of how well you do in advanced, upper-level courses. Grades also are used to determine scholarships and grants for which you may be eligible. So put in the extra effort and keep those grades up!

Wyoming Seminary's College Counseling Program As a college preparatory school, our underlying goal is to prepare students for college. The College Guidance Office plays an integral role in this process by assisting the student in finding the most appropriate college "match." That sounds easy enough, but it is actually a complex process requiring self-reflection, time, and visits to college campuses. Here is a brief overview of the college counseling program. Sophomore Year College counseling begins during the sophomore year with a series of group meetings about the PSATs, the SATs and the college search process. College testing begins as the sophomore year progresses with the PSAT in October and possibly a SAT II: Subject Test in the spring. Each sophomore is assigned a college counselor with whom they meet individually in the spring of the sophomore year. These meetings establish a rapport between counselor and student, provide an opportunity to review academic and extracurricular scheduling, and result in a short list of colleges for sophomores and their parents to visit during the summer before their junior year to expose them to the range of college environments. Junior Year Senior Year In preparation for the senior year, students should return to school with a refined list consisting of colleges and universities to which they want to apply. Many college applications are available in the summer and early fall. As soon as students receive applications, they should begin completing them. The application process is time consuming, especially the essay, so students can begin writing essays and completing available applications during the summer to spare themselves additional stress in the fall when their busy with academic and extracurricular work.

The American College Testing Program (ACT) is a comprehensive, guidance-oriented service that helps colleges, high schools, and students in transition from high school to college. Students participate in the program by completing an educational/biographical questionnaire, an interest inventory, and four tests of educational development in English, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Natural Sciences. After analyzing the information obtained, ACT prepares reports for use by students, high schools, and colleges in career and college planning, admissions, and placement, and academic advising. More than 2700 colleges and universities and other agencies accept ACT scores in lieu of SAT 1 Scores. The ACT is an achievement test. Achievement tests often reward the student who works hard more than an aptitude test like the SAT 1. Juniors achieving less than satisfactory results on a SAT I taken in the Spring may wish to consider taking the ACT during the Fall of the Senior year. The ACT is offered several times during the year at locations throughout the Columbia area to include Spring Valley High School.

The Mishicot High School Guidance Department is here to help the student throughout their high school career. The goal of every student is not only to graduate from high school, but also to be prepared for whatever choice the student has for after high school. From this, we have come up with a list of the most common questions asked of us. Below we hope to answer many of these. Remember, we are here to help you and your child. If you or your child has a question, please feel free to come in and ask us personally. The answers below are only generalized and may not apply to your personal needs. What classes do I need? What job will I be good at after high school? So, what is this job all about? Test Dates to Remember ... So, how am I going to pay for that? What classes do I need to take? It depends on want to do after high school. The choices that you make, and the grades that you get, as early as your Freshman year may determine what you do after high school. Your best resources for determining what classes to take are your parents. Start thinking about whether you want to go to College, Technical school, Learn a Trade, or even go into the Military. These choices will help you in deciding what classes are needed beyond the general requirements. Back to Top What job will I be good at after high school?

Cowpens Middle School Guidance Program "Helping Students to Walk in the Right Direction" The guidance program here includes every student and teacher. It provides teachers with information which will help them to know their students’ abilities, interest, and backgrounds. It helps students adjust to middle school. Permanent year-by-year records are kept of every student’s attendance, home background, scholastic achievement, participation in school and other activities, performance on standardized tests, employment, general physical condition, and attitudes toward fellow students and teachers. These data are available to teachers for their better understanding of pupil’s problems, and they guide the administrator in making decisions regarding the school and students. You will be given guidance and help in classes, through individual conferences with guidance counselors, and through publications, assemblies, clubs, and special events. You will also be given standardized tests so that you and your teachers may compare your level of achievement with that of your classmates and students throughout the nation. Some of the guidance you will receive is planned, some incidental. You will find, however, that all of it is valuable if you are serious about getting the most of your school days. Professional advice on courses of study is given by the counselors. Adjusting schedules is another task of the guidance department.
