Hey everyone! I've seen people use the term 'junior year' but I'm not exactly sure what grade it refers to. Can someone clarify whether junior year is 11th grade or some other grade? Thanks in advance!
Hello and thank you for reaching out with your question! In the United States, 'junior year' refers to the third year of high school, which is 11th grade. It's considered an important year for college preparation, as students often take standardized tests like the SAT or ACT during this time and also start to explore colleges and universities they may be interested in attending.
Additionally, junior year grades can be crucial since they are the last full set of grades that college admissions committees will see when reviewing applications. If you have any further questions or need guidance as you begin to think about post-secondary education and the application process, don't hesitate to ask. Best of luck in your educational journey!
