without our targeted initiatives and programs that help students with their college
preparation. You must make sure you are making the right decision regarding
your future, financially and career-wise. It might be a wise idea to look at College
debt in Sweden.
In order to optimize your college readiness, it helps to know what skills are
necessary for thorough college preparation. Plus, we’ll show which activities,
experiences and skills can make your college experience all it was meant to be.
College readiness isn’t just about the academic aspects of a high school
student’s resume and overall profile – it’s essential, no doubt, but it’s only one
element of a broader, well-rounded skill set. Think about college preparation from
inquisitive mind, plenty of hard work, proper study habits and much more.
However, the culmination of all those college prep classes and other academic
coursework is the start of something, not the end. The academic aspect of college
preparation means the ability to complete your chosen degree program with
distinction. If you’re fully prepared academically, you’re ready to take the next
step and excel beyond high school – at college, in workplace and in adulthood.

The study concludes that there is an evidence of RASH’s validity, given the
outcome of the factor analysis studies done on the test. Evidence of the reliability
of the RASH is seen in the Cronbach Alpha values being greater than .70 for 4 of

Synthesis
The General Academic Strand of K to 12 program is a very helpful tool for the
senior high school students who are still undecided on what career to take in their
college years. But still, based on the related studies and reviews, there are still
advantages and disadvantages about the said strand. One of the advantages includes;
General Academic Strand students still have 2 more years to prepare and to be ready
in deciding their preferred college course; and students who will graduate from this
strand will be competent enough in the coming college years because of the skills and
knowledge they gained in senior high school. There are also disadvantages about this
strand such as; graduates of General Academic Strand are not able to take the
preferred courses of other strands like Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS),
Business Management (ABM), thus there are only limited course offered to them and
one of those is BS Education; and, one of the problem that the researchers noticed is
the lack of financial stability, there are some students who can’t continue schooling
equip students with much needed skills to gain more knowledge and for them to be
able to decide on what career to take in college. It also seems that this strand is able
and really helpful in preparing the undecided students towards college readiness.
