  4. Should I go to College? Quiz • Do you get satisfaction out of at least half of your homework activities? • Do you feel your study habits are above average compared to your classmates? • Do you plan your time and organize your work well, without being supervised? • Do you only rarely fail to finish all your schoolwork? • Is your memory above average compared to other students? • Do you like to write? • Do you occasionally write for fun?

  5. Should I go to College? Quiz • Can you understand and use fairly complicated ideas in class? • Can you see a reason for the things teachers ask you to do? • Are you comfortable working in depth with both words and numbers? • Do you really like to read? • Do you often read for fun? • Is it nearly always easy for you to follow instructions correctly? • Do you consider yourself above average in "intelligence?" • Do all your grades tend to be above average most of the time? • Are you really looking forward to the idea of being a scholar in college?

  6. Let’s Score • Total your "yes" and "no" answers separately • 15 or more yeses: You will thrive in college • 13 or 14 yeses: You can definitely succeed at college, but you may need to slightly develop the following: careful organization skills, maturity, and the capacity for sustained hard work. • 11 or 12 yeses: You have a good chance of making it in college, provided you become really dedicated to success and eager to make a number of changes in your academic approaches, starting now. • 9 or 10 yeses: Unless you spend some effort developing your academic skills, you may struggle at college. But it’s not impossible! • 8 or fewer yeses: As things stand now, you may have a hard time in most traditional college situations, and are likely to be happier as one of the 75 percent of seniors not attending a bachelor's degree program.
