SAT--Time to Register

JUNIORS--Sign up now for the Spring SAT.  You must be registered by April 8, 2011 for the May 7 test, and register by May 10, 2011 for the June 10 test.  Here's the link,http://sat.collegeboard.com/register, or check with your high school career center.  You have the advantage if you take it in the spring--that way if you want a higher score, you can take it again in the fall.  Don't hesitate to ask for help.  Mike & I would love to answer questions or help you get registered.
