2. Gear Up for Next Year

- Prepare for spring standardized tests using PSAT test scores as a guide
- Ask teachers about their recommendation policies (for summer programs, scholarships, or college applications)
- Job shadow or intern to learn more about potential careers
- Plan college visits
Take Action
