8th Grade

In addition to GoHigher Kentucky, you should ask counselors, teachers, parents and friends questions you have about college.

  • Talk with your guidance counselor about:

    • Going to college
    • Courses to start taking in the 9th grade
    • The importance colleges place on grades and at what year in school grades will start to be considered in the admissions process
    • College prep, AP, IB and other honors-level courses you should take in high school
    • Academic enrichment programs, including summers and weekends

    Remember, you'll have more options if you start planning now and do your best to earn good grades.

  • Prepare for the EXPLORE test. The state requires all eighth-graders in public schools to take this test.

  • Think about extracurricular activities (such as sports, performing arts, volunteer work or other activities that interest you).
