• Take at least two years of a foreign language

• Take challenging courses each year of high school

• Consider AP Courses, Running Start, four years of math

• 4 Year College requires entrance Exams

• PSAT as a sophomore or junior

• ACT or SAT (See college admissions page for registration information) spring of junior year and/or no later than early fall of senior year. (Note: if you take it in spring of junior year, it will give you time to retake for a better score before it is required for your college application.)
