TO-DO List for Juniors
1. Start your college search – read about majors
and careers on www.collegeboard.com
2. Over spring break or the summer…arrange to
visit your top colleges (if you can) and be sure to make appointments ahead of
time for a tour of the campus and set up time to visit with the financial aide
officer or the Freshman academic advisor.
3. Plan to sign up for either the ACT or SAT in
April/May/June – get the study guide for the test you plan to take and begin
preparing. Remember, for the SAT you can
only take either the SAT Reasoning test or up to three SAT subject tests in one
day. You cannot do both in the same
day. Find out from the college you plan
to attend whether they require subject tests for college entrance. Some do and some don’t.
4. Prepare for the SAT by taking a full-length
official practice test and get a practice test score report by visiting the SAT
Preparation Center at www.collegeboard.com You can also get free ACT/SAT test prep tutorials
or other helpful information by visiting the following websites: www.number2.com, www.act.org,
www.schoolguides.org, www.collegeboard.com , www.fastweb.com , www.fafsa.ed.gov, www.ed.gov/thinkcollege , www.collegeprep101.com, www.collegeanswerguy.com, www.collegefortexans.com
It has been suggested to take
both ACT and SAT at least once to see which one you will do better on. ACT has English, reading, math, science
reasoning, and an optional essay. SAT
sections are math, critical reading, and writing.
5. Students who qualify for the free/reduced
lunch program can use a fee waiver for the ACT or SAT tests. This can be used twice for each test.
CHANGE TO THE TOP 10% RULING: — The University of Texas at Austin
will automatically admit all eligible 2011 summer/fall freshman applicants who
rank within the top 8 percent
of their high school graduating classes, with remaining spaces to be filled
through holistic review. William Powers
Jr., president of the university, said that automatically admitting students in
the top 8 percent of their high school graduating class to the 2011 entering
freshman class would fill 75 percent of available spaces. A new state law,
Senate Bill 175, passed by the 81st Legislature, modified the university's
admissions program, which previously had been required to automatically admit
students in the top 10 percent of their high school class. Under the new law, the university is to admit
automatically enough students to fill 75 percent of available spaces set aside
for Texas residents in an entering freshman class, beginning
with the 2011 summer/fall class.
Students who rank in the top 10% of their high school class are
automatically admitted to any public university in Texas EXCEPT FOR UT
AUSTIN.

KJC
DUAL CREDIT COURSES:
ECON
2301 – replaces high school economics
GOVT
2305 – replaces high school government
ENGL
1301 – replaces the 1st semester of high school senior English
ENGL
1302 – replaces the 2nd semester of high school senior English
SPCH
1315 – replaces high school speech class
Steps
to take if you plan to pursue dual credit courses:
1. Apply to Kilgore College online
(www.kilgore.edu)
2. Find out if you are THEA Exempt. If you
are, you will need to take your TAKS Results, ACT, or SAT Results to KJC. If not, sign up to take the THEA or
ACCUPLACER test over at Kilgore College Testing Center – 903-983-8215 or call
KJC-Longview at 903-983-8281 to schedule an appointment M-F at 5pm. .
3. Have your counselor send an official copy of
your high school transcript over to KJC-Admissions
4. Request and fill out an “early admissions form”
(from your counselor) and have your parents sign it. This is the form that you will take with you
to actually register for the course.
5. Register for the course(s) either in Kilgore
at the Duvall Student Center (Jeanna Centers-903-983-8202) or if you are taking
a course at the KJC-Longview campus you can register for your course at that
campus.
6. Pay for the course(s) that you registered and
bring a copy of the “Paid Receipt” to
your counselor as Proof of your enrollment in the dual credit course. If you do not bring a copy of the paid
receipt, we will put you in the SHHS equivalent course.
CREDIT
RECOVERY:
If
you need to recover credits due to failure of courses there are several ways in
which this can be accomplished:
1. Attend
summer school at one of the following facilities: Spring Hill High School (Math/Science ONLY),
Longview High School, Kilgore High School, Pine Tree High School, and East
Texas Charter School. This costs around
$150 per semester. Summer school
schedules will be available in late April in the high school office. Registration is handled on your own. Remember….YOU need to make yourself aware of
all graduation requirements so that if you must recover a credit due to
failure, you take care of it in the summer.
2.
Take a credit by exam – These exams are ordered through Texas Tech
University-Extended Studies (www.ttu.edu) and cost $30 each.
3. Take
a correspondence course through Texas Tech University-Extended
Studies. Each semester costs $125.
4.
The last option (and worst) would be to retake the course during the
following school year knowing that you will have to “double up” on the
courses if it is part of the 4 core course load.
