About This Lesson
Do your students want to better understand how a person's financial history and habits can impact his/her credit score? In this activity, students will read the profiles of three college students who have very different financial histories and habits, estimate their credit score, and make recommendations to improve each student's credit score. This is a great way for students to become familiar with how their credit scores can go up and down in response to their financial behavior and what they can do to boost their own credit scores.
