An important part of your college applications are your standardized test scores - your ACT or SAT scores. For community colleges, these scores are used to determine your classes and placement, and for four-year university they determine admissions and scholarship money. Learn about the differences between the SAT and ACT, how to prepare, and how to register for exams.
With thousands of college options in the country, trying to determine what colleges you might be interested in attending can be overwhelming. Learn about factors to consider when you begin thinking about schools and some helpful resources to help you search through your options.
College is a great investment, but it can be a pricey one. Thankfully, there are many resources to help reduce the burden of paying for college. Learn about financial aid, the steps you need to take to apply for it, and get connected with scholarships.
