really, you’re only a sophomore! relax! Enjoy high school, and make the most of it.

But, since you asked for advice: here’s my two cents.

do well in school academically, and it looks like you’re doing exactly that.
Continue with your ec’s and take leadership positions in them. Show initiative with the ecs you join. Perhaps, organize something etc. If you are interested in business, perhaps join a few of those clubs like fbla etc. Contact other people in your area who are also interested in business, and see what they are doing. But please, don’t do these activities for the sake of getting to college. That’s the worst thing you could do to yourself. Colleges can see that facade, and it’ll hurt you tremendously. Actually do the things you enjoy.
Regarding test scores etc, as long as you are keeping up in school, your scores will be fine. I really didn’t do any studying, but the critical learning I learned in my honors/AP classes were enough for me to get a pretty good score. Don’t sweat too much over this.

Hope this helped.
Good Luck!
