Senior Bulletin #7

Last Chance for 4 Year Colleges!!
Friday, November 4th is the last deadline for the December ACT test.  Tuesday, November 8th is the last SAT deadline for the December test.  Mrs. Hall has ACT fee waivers, but no SAT fee waivers.  You can complete a paper SAT and request a fee waiver.  If you have not yet tested, you must complete testing by December.  Be sure to list your colleges when you apply.  You need either the SAT Reasoning test or the ACT for UC's, CSU's and all four year colleges.  You do not need these tests for community colleges, or trade/tech colleges.
