What does it mean to be “college ready”? “…level of preparation a student needs in order to enroll and succeed- without remediation-in a credit-bearing general education course at a postsecondary institution…” 1 Important to not just get into college, but succeed in college. Forecasting for junior year has critical implications for not only junior and senior year, but post-secondary options. 1 Conley, David T.
