TIPS FOR COLLEGE PREPARATION  If you are planning to attend a 4 year University, choose rigorous courses in 12 th grade.  Review the CSU/UC requirements to verify you are on track for college entrance.  Any D’s that you have received in required “A-G” courses should be made up for 4-year colleges. See your counselor ASAP.  Take the SAT and/or ACT at least once this spring.  Take the EAP section of this year’s CST! Community college and Cal-State schools use it in lieu of their placement exams.  Stay involved in your extracurricular activities. Colleges like to see quality over quantity.  Use NAVIANCE to research colleges and schools and learn about different majors or programs of study that might interest you.
