What do we recommend? Take both SAT and ACT to determine which test is the best one for you. Begin testing spring of junior year. Do NOT wait until fall of your senior year to begin testing! How does my student prepare? Make the most of the PSAT opportunities SAT www.khanacademy.org link with college board account for personalized, free tutorials. ACT www.prepfactory.com
What can students and parents do to make sure they are on track? Make sure that students are doing their very best in their classes. Everything we do in high school counts this includes course taken in middle school (Spanish or algebra) Challenging themselves with rigorous courses when possible. Take advantage of tutorials and re-testing opportunities. Parents intervene EARLY by monitoring grades and communicating regularly with teachers. Know your Guidance Counselor. Ask questions! Calculate GPA after each year to see progress.
How is the NCAA Core GPA Calculated? 4.0 scale: A = 4 (90 -100) B = 3 (80 - 89) C = 2 (75 79) D = 1 (70 74) F= 0 (69 and below) Pre-AP/AP courses are given an additional point for weighting *Students entering high school 2019 and beyond C= 70-79
Education-Impacting Disability (EID) Students with a documented Education-Impacting Disability are required to meet the same standards. Please note, students that have modified curriculum through Special Ed will not qualify and in most cases will be unable to go directly to a 4 year institution.
