Which term refers to a document you use to set goals for things you want to accomplish in school?

• A. Steps for Achieving Goals
• B. Personal Academic Plan
• C. Elective Courses
• D. Community College

Answer: (B)

A Personal Academic Plan is the document you use to set goals for things you want to accomplish in school. It helps you define specific targets, like GPA goals, courses to take, and skills to develop, along with a realistic timeline. It also lays out the steps you’ll take to reach those goals—such as enrolling in particular classes, meeting with a counselor, using tutoring resources, or pursuing relevant experiences—and the deadlines for each milestone. Keeping this plan helps you stay focused, track progress, and adjust as your interests or circumstances change, so your day-to-day actions align with your long-term objectives.

Other options don’t fit as well because they’re not the planning tool: a phrase like Steps for Achieving Goals describes a method rather than a school-specific document; elective courses are the classes you choose, not a goal-setting plan; and community college is an institution, not a document.
