Providence Classical Christian School

Advising Timeline

Our vision is to graduate young men and women who are socially graceful, spiritually gracious, and academically curious, equipped to learn and think for themselves according to biblical principles.

Sophomores

·         Take the PSAT mid October at PCCS. Scores arrive late December. Review and work on weak areas. Sophomores take the test as a practice test  to identify strengths and weaknesses, and to see which students  may be close to qualifying for the National Merit Scholarship. This test will be taken again as a Junior to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Competition

·         Look for leadership opportunities, get a job, and get involved in co-curricular activities.

·         Work hard for your best grades. Remember that when you apply for colleges, your transcripts will only show 9th – 11th grades. December 1 is the priority application deadline for most colleges

·         When the opportunity presents itself to visit a college campus – Take It! It’s good exposure

·         Read to strengthen vocabulary

·         If your student is taking Latin 4 or 5, consider taking the SAT Latin subject test in May of your sophomore year. If you are considering a college that requires subject testing as part of the application process this would be a potential test. If you are going to take this test, you WILL need to register very early, and study with a practice book for this test. The May SAT test date fills up quickly as it is the last test date for Subject Tests
