Attention: High School Juniors
(Entering Seniors for fall 2006)
If you think you may be attending college, it is a really
good idea to take the SAT or ACT test (college entrance
exams) in June 2006 because your math and grammar con
cepts are still fresh in your brain and the rush of deadlines
for high school seniors are still a summer away. If you are
not satisfied with scores from the June test you will have
time to re-take the test in September or October 2006.
To Register, go to www.collegeboard.com (for the SAT)
and www.act.org (for the ACT).
If you have questions, please call Trinity Minahan at 503-879-1478
or 1-800-422-0232 Ext. 1478 trinity.minahan
