Exercise 1 – Your College Prep Portfolio Planner
Overview/Goals:
The College Prep Portfolio Planner is a log that allows you to easily track both the skills you
have and the skills you need in your college career. You will need to revisit your College Prep
Portfolio Planner after you complete each exercise in this workbook and fill in as many rows
as you can. Do NOT fill out any of the planner until you have completed an exercise.
Instructions:
The College Prep Portfolio Planner consists of two sections: Skills I HAVE and Skills I NEED.
Fill each section out as completely as possible after each exercise. The Tabbed Skill Area
column will be used in later exercises, so do not panic if you are unsure what to put in it. Do
not go on to additional exercises until you have filled in as many rows as possible on both the
For Evaluation Only
HAVE and NEED planner sections.

Both sections of the College Prep Portfolio Planner look similar but have different purposes.
The Skills I HAVE section helps you better understand what you can already do. In this
section, you can list the different ways you can prove you have the skill.
The Skills I NEED section helps you realize what skills you don’t have right now. You may
want to concentrate on developing some of these skills to help you get into college, or you
may list skills that you’d like to gain while pursuing your degree. In this section, you can list
different methods for developing or obtaining the skills you lack.
The first row in each section has been filled out for you to follow as an example. You may
want to list a skill more than once in order to show adequate proof of your abilities in that skill
area, or if your skill could be sorted into several different key skill areas.
Remember to revisit the College Prep Portfolio Planner each time
you discover a new skill you HAVE or NEED. This will make it
easier to create your college prep portfolio!
