10TH GRADE

Continue to focus on strong study habits, obtaining good grades, participating in extra - curricular activities including school based groups and/or sports, and take a set of courses that are challenging for you in order to be well prepared for college. In addition, continue to identify areas that are interesting to you, and explore potential career fields. Also, remember that all your grades are now a part of your permanent record. Colleges will see every term grade and the final average grade. Continue to explore and develop your hobbies and outside interests. Participate in school, community, or religiously affiliated activities. Make good grades; B's or better are recommended grades for future admission into college. While some schools will accept students with grades below the recommended ones, your chances for admission to a college are better if your academic record is strong. Developing good study habits include learning how to take good notes for class discussions and research materials.
