College Independence Readiness Check

Is Your Teen Ready for College Independence?

You are about to get one of the clearest pictures you have had of where your teen actually stands before college begins.

Not academically. In the areas that actually determine whether the first semester goes well — the planning, the routines, the stress recovery, the help-seeking, the daily independence that college quietly assumes is already in place.

Most parents finish this and say some version of the same thing: "I wish I had done this sooner."

Before you begin — three things that make your results more useful:

Answer based on what you observe, not what you hope.

The most accurate results come from what you actually see at home — not your teen's best days, and not what they would say about themselves.

Answer based on what happens without your support.

For several questions, the honest answer depends on what your teen does when you are not managing it for them. That is the version that matters for college.

A higher score is not a verdict. It is a starting point. Every gap identified here is a gap that can be closed — and identifying it now, before the transition, is exactly when that work is most useful.

What you are about to assess: 7 areas of college independence across 44 questions.

How long it takes: About 10 minutes.

What you receive: Your results immediately after the final question — and a personalized report in your inbox within a few minutes.

Ready when you are.
