Like for me, I have a special binder for my school record for Elementary, Middle, and High School. Inside I would keep a copy of my class schedule, transcripts form each year, syllabi, ap bulletin, ap student pack, ap scores printout, course placement handouts for the upcoming year, and score reports for state mandated test. In the back I would have each standardized test (PSAT/SAT/ACT) all neatly filed. I also have 2 separate binders, one for extracurricular awards, and recognition, and one for school/academic achievements, awards, and recognition papers ( i.e certificates, letters). Anybody else do this?
It seems fairly pointless since any application needs to be accompanied by official transcripts. Your biographer might be pleased with it, though.
You’ll be glad you saved those awards and certificates when it’s time to decorate posterboard for your grad party. I’ve seen several people display theirs and it looks very nice.
Not that OCD, but I’m pretty OCD with that stuff.
