Are you a high school junior?  Have you taken the SAT or the ACT?  Summer is the time to start taking prep classes for either the SAT, ACT or both.  Don’t wait until the last minute if you want to get your best score.

In addition to using your summer to prepare for the SAT or the ACT, make sure you take some time to go visit some colleges or universities that you may be interested in attending.  The more schools you visit will help you get a better idea of the best college for you.
