TIPS FOR COLLEGE

Create a four-year high school course plan.
Review Farrington High School's graduation requirements and make sure you are taking courses that will prepare you for college. Visit your high school college counselor for help on getting this done.

Take the PSAT/NMSQT practice test found in the PSAT/NMSQT Student Bulletin. Pick up a copy from your high school college counselor.

Practice with past PSAT/NMSQT questions.

Get involved in school activities! Colleges like to see student involvement. Participate in student government, clubs or even sports activities. Volunteer to help with community service projects.

Start investigating on possible careers!

What careers interest you the most?

Improve and continue good study habits!
