Felicia: You don't have to take any certain courses in high school, but I would recommend taking as much science course work as you can. Especially, courses like A & P and biology. You do not need any athletic training experience before college, but I recommend finding an ATC and doing some volunteer work. I would make sure this is the type of work you are truely interested in doing for 30 years. The test you mentioned is taken for certification after you complete college, don't worry about it at this point. I would also recommend reading my posts from a couple of months ago. They might provide some insight into the athletic training profession for you. Best of luck.
