I’m starting school soon and I’m really nervous for sophomore year. This is the year where grades starts to matter and you have prep for the SATs. Do you guys have any tips or advice for entering sophomore year of high school?
Grades always matter, and most students take the SAT in their junior and senior years. Just do your best and participate in activities that interest you.
Your high school might have you take the PSAT to give you all a taste, but the SAT isn’t taken until junior year. And of course, get involved in activities that interest you so you have a balanced life. Just work hard and never give up even when it looks like things are going down. For example, I started off with a B in my Honors English class and AP World History class, but I eventually worked hard and my grades improved.
