You said it when you were a child, “I can’t wait to be a grown-up!” Your parents asked you, “When will you act like an adult?” Is high school graduation the magic moment that turns you into an adult? Maybe, maybe not. Take this quiz to see what your grade is as an “adult”. Respond to each statement with a Yes or No.
Tally your score – each Yes response receives 1 point.
What your scores mean
A+ = 17-20. You are ready to enter adulthood with flying colors.
B+= 13- 17. You are an emerging adult. You almost have it down. You have just a few things to work on.
C+= 10- 13. You are getting there. You have a few more items to work on.
D+= 5-9. You have a ways to go. Work on some of these tasks this summer before you go to college.
F+ = 1-4. You are not ready to go to college. You might need a year at home to get ready for adulthood.
Being an adult is about more than having freedom and doing what you want. It is about responsibility, accountability and good choices. Practice your “adulting“ this summer, and you will be more confident when you leave for college in the fall.
