Bealeton, Virginia
What should I do during the summer before my freshman year or during my freshman year of high school to have a strong foundation for college apps?
Hello! Thank you so much to anyone who answers my question(s)! Interested and open to anything. Also, one of the reasons I'm asking because my parent is because my parents are thinking of wanting me to graduate early.
Should I take the SAT or ACT or both? When should I take them?
I'm a rising freshman and I've already completed math classes up to Algebra 2. However, the reading and comprehension part is not my forte. I'm wondering if I should take the SAT/ACT in my freshman year or not, and if I should take both.
For my freshman year, should I take AP Precalc AB or BC? If BC, should I take Multivariable Calc & Lin Alg or just AP Stats for my junior year? If I take AB, that means I will most likely take Calc BC in 11th grade, which doesn't sound too appealing. The idea is if I'm taking BC, I could directly go on to Calc BC for sophomore year, so I could have my 11th grade year easier and just take AP Stats instead. However, I'm just worried it will be too much to handle.
I'm currently a rising freshman and I've taken all previous math classes before.
What classes are highly reccommended for me to take in high school if I most likely would major in business?
If possible, please list out clearly the specific classes I should take for each grade. I am in 8th grade, rising freshman.
