Advisers say high school students should plan now for college years BY TRICIA PEMBERTON Staff Writer tpemberton@opubco.com
It’s never too soon for high school students to start preparing for college, advisers say.

Stafford also stresses to students that they need to take four years of math — algebra I, geometry, algebra II and pre-calculus or trigonometry. And the newest ACT research indicates that students score best on the test when they have taken biology, chemistry and physics, she said. Students also should select a number of colleges to which they will apply, Stafford said. The exact number, however, depends on the teen.

To help students decide an area of study, Stafford recommends the Career Interest area of the PLAN test given in 10th grade, or she advises students to explore websites like www.matchcollege. com or the College Board’s www.myroad. collegeboard.com.
