FIVE REASONS TO TAKE CHALLENGING COURSES

As you register for your fall classes, here are five good reasons why you should take challenging courses:

1. Colleges look at the high school courses you've taken and want to see that you weren't coasting through.
2. Tough courses give you the knowledge and skills you need to do college work.
3. Students who take challenging courses score higher on the ACT.
(And a higher ACT score means a higher chance to succeed in college.)
4. You'll be less likely to need remedial courses in college, and you may be able to finish college sooner.
5. You will have more options for college and a career.

ACT's list of high school course recommendations can serve as a guide for planning your choices (to find out more, visit http://www.actstudent.org/college/plancourses.html). Be sure to
check with the colleges and universities you're interested in to compare the requirements.
