Helpful Website for Your College Planning 2 of 5

Planning for college can be overwhelming. Where do you even begin? Here are some helpful websites that should make planning for college a little easier.

ActStudent.org


If you have taken or plan to take the ACT, be sure to sign up for an account at actstudent.org. This account gives you free access to viewing your ACT scores online and establishes an email address to receive direct communication and reminders from ACT. Some of the other features on the site include:

ACT test prep. This section of the site gives you tips on preparing for the ACT. From tips about calculators to test day procedures, you will find all you need to know to be fully prepared to take the ACT.
College and career planning podcasts. Get advice from recent students about college and career planning by downloading featured podcasts. These podcasts include topics such as "What I’ve Learned Since High School" and "ACT Test Day."
World-of-Work Map. The World-of-Work Map graphically shows how occupations relate to each other based on work functions. When you receive scores from one of ACT's assessments, you receive a personalized report that suggests career areas for you to explore.

For more information about planning for college, please contact your high school counselor or an expert, like me.
