As a junior, the ACT will be given to you free of cost at school. But it is a good idea to take both tests and to take one of the tests multiple times. Generally, the second time you take either the SAT or ACT, you will see an improvement in your score due to general familiarity with the test and less test anxiety.  \nMost LCHS students seem to prefer the ACT, but the SAT can be a great option as well, especially for those students who are strong in Math and Science.  \nOur recommendation would be to take both tests, and then to take the test of your choice at least one more time.  \nThe essay section for each test is optional, but we recommend taking the essay at least once. While it is not required for most schools’ admissions process, it is a factor that can help you gain acceptance into your college of choice (and it cannot hurt your admissions chances!) Consider the essay to be a “plus factor” that can only help, not hurt, your chances at getting into your top choice school.  \nACT/SAT Resources Available to You at LCHS…  \nACT Prep Classes-October, January and May. These eight-day prep class will provide an overview of the ACT, strategies to beat the test, updates to the test, collaboration time, practice resources and practice feedback. These are taught by Mr. Fuller and Dean of Academics and Math teacher Mrs. Turner  \nFree Practice Resources-Available in the Guidance Offices  \nONLINE-Both the SAT and ACT have great online practice resources to you, available for free! Navigate to act.org or [sat.org. Khan Academy is a great](sat.org. Khan Academy is a great) test-prep resource.  \nOpen Door Policy-If you have a question, or if you need help, Just Ask!  \nNaviance Program  \nThe Naviance program is your first stop in the college search and college application process.

The following activity is designed for students and parents to sit down and discuss desired criteria for potential colleges. Nothing in this activity should be set in stone. In fact, as you continue through the process (especially with college visits), many things may change. Keep this as a reference and consider what your “non-negotiables” will be when selecting a college or university. Anything that is unknown to you on this worksheet is an example of a great item to inquire about with the college’s admissions office.  \n1. Potential Careers of Interest/Related College Majors  \n2.
