The Homeschoolers Guide to College Preparation
A famous study at Yale University polled graduating seniors in a class in the ‘50s. The students were asked what their specific and written goals for their careers and finances were. Unfortunately, only 3% of the graduating class had specific and written goals.
20 years later, the class was studied again. The 3% that had specific goals at graduation had amassed more wealth in the 20 years than the other 97% combined! Goals make that type of difference.
‘are those students who fail college placement exams actually college material?’ “…the single greatest predictor of whether a student will succeed or fail in college is not what he knows when he graduates from high school but what he wants to know when he graduates from high school. Intellectual curiosity is more determinative than high test scores or good work habits because it precedes them — indeed, it causes them.
Most homeschoolers are aware of the superior academic proficiency of their students in comparison to non-homeschoolers. In the past, it was hard to prove this. But now, the National Home Education Research Institute has released a study proving this very fact.
