We're going to ask you a "lightning round" of quick questions  (asking your opinion about parts of the app)

Part 1

Part 2

• You're allowed to be harsh on us!
  • If there's something you don't like, then we encourage you to say that…because if you think that, you'll be doing us a favor by letting us know : ) 
     
• As you're using the app, think aloud as much as possible (let us into your thought process)
• Relax and have fun : )
• As if you were at home, relaxing and exploring this app on your computer

• You are pretty stressed out about college prep (there's so much stuff to worry about!) and are looking for ways you can get ready for college easier, better and/or faster
• A friend tells you about something called
  My College Timeline, so you decide to check it out

Imagine if you will...

Open a new browser tab,

and go to: 

www.mycollegetimeline.com

(Then come back to this tab)

Explore our website,

and spend a few minutes looking around.  

Do a little narrative

as you go.

Now do the first couple tasks in your college timeline.  

They're both really short.  

Click on the "My Dashboard" button on the bottom of the screen.

Take a look at the dashboard,

and see if you like the format. 

Do a  search for a school that may be a good fit for you.
