UNIVERSITY PREPARATION CHECKLIST Grades 9 & 10:
Begin to become familiar with graduation and college entrance requirements. Check out the University Prep by Region section for more specific information!
Plan high school courses to meet recommended college preparation suggestions.
Concentrate on forming good study and work habits and work to your potential.
Get involved in school and/or community activities.
Look into attending summer college activities for high school students.
Identify if you need to take
An English Proficiency Exam (IELTS / TOEFL / DUOLINGO)
No worries! It's totally normal to be exploring ALL your interests at the same time - it's what your brains are wired to do.
HOWEVER, you can begin to NARROW YOUR FOCUS by:
identifying the subjects/tasks/interests that make you happiest,
the challenges you've been successful in that bring you the most satisfaction
your natural strengths
a combination of some (or all) of the above
Complete the various Interest Inventories in the section below to start learning more about your likes and dislikes.
Although many of you have seen these before, we wanted to make them available for you here in case you wanted to complete them again.
1) Start these when you have some quiet undisturbed time to better focus on the task. These three surveys will take approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2) Take notes (or a screenshot) of your results - paying specific attention to:
What occupational theme/s best describes you?
For which careers are you best suited?
3) Reminder: Do NOT create an account to 'receive results', as you will be provided with the relevant information.
Enjoy!
Please complete them one after the other, leaving the tabs open, so you can record your answers in your University Prep Portfolio after you have completed them. Once you have completed them you should receive your responses by email.
