What Can My Child do to Prepare for College? There is no substitution for your child getting a solid and broad academic education. A college education builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in the earlier years. This means your child should take challenging courses in academic subjects and maintain good grades in school. Your child’s transcript will be an important part of his or her college application. A student’s interpersonal and leadership skills as well as outside interests and goals are all important for college preparation. Independent reading and study, extracurricular activities, and work experience will all help your child develop his or her skills, interests and goals. College Admissions Testing Required by UC and CSU Systems SAT Reasoning Test (3 parts: Math, Critical Reading, and Writing) or ACT Assessment plus Optional Writing (5 parts: Math, Reading, Science, English and Writing) The UC System also requires two (2) SAT Subject Test Scores. These must be in two different areas, chosen from the following: English, history/social studies, mathematics (Level 2 only), science or language other than English. |
