This timeline checklist will help you navigate that process.  \n❏ Think about what life after high school will look like for you.  \n❏ Discover your interests, both the things you like and dislike.  \n❏ Talk to your counselor, teachers, parents, and other members in your community about careers you find interesting.  \n❏ Are you interested in going to a college or university?  \n❏ Are you interested in going to a vocational school to earn a trade certificate?  \n❏ Are you interested in the military?  \n❏ Visit the ASVAB Career Exploration Program website and take the assessment.  \n❏ ASVAB includes an aptitude test and interest assessment. The results can be used to guide career exploration. Life School offers ASVAB to 11th and 12th grade students during the Fall.  \n❏ Work with your counselor to create a four-year high school plan.  \n❏ Be sure your course work aligns to your post-secondary goal.  \n❏ Consider what level courses you will need to get into colleges or universities.  \n❏ Participate in extracurricular activities.  \n❏ Explore your interest in a sport, school club, music or drama group, or community volunteer activity.  \n❏ Colleges would rather see real involvement in one activity than a loose connection to several.  \n❏ Take the PSAT™ when it is offered in 10th Grade.  \n❏ Life School offers the PSAT™ during the school day in grades 10 and 11 . It is optional in 10th grade at a cost. All students will take the PSAT™ in 11th grade at no cost.  \n❏ Download the free Daily Practice for the New SAT® app to get a feel for the kinds of questions you might face on test day.  \n❏ Tour college campuses.  \n❏ If possible, take advantage of vacation or other family travel time to visit colleges and see what they’re like. Even if you have no interest in attending the college you are visiting, it will help you learn what to look for in a college.  \n❏ Visit the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) website and take the aptitude assessment if you think you might be interested in the military.
