***End of Course Testing and Advanced Placement Testing dates are the the bottom of this e-mail.

***Princeton Review has a new website featuring its latest study guides/aids for the new SAT. It's really an informative and fun site, and I think those students deciding how to prepare for the SAT would find it useful. The site is:
http://testprep.princetonreview.com/sat/newsatquiz/index.asp

It requires Flash Player, and can take up to 4 minutes to download on dial-up modems; however, it's worth the wait.

***Advanced Placement Exams will be given the weeks of May 3 and May 10,  2004. AP studentst have received a calendar of dates and list of fees required to take the exams. Registration and fees are due March 29 to Ms. Ross in the school office. Contact Mr. McCurdy at McCurdy@gradyhighschool.org or 404-853-4000 ext 328 or Mrs. Grimes at cgrimes@atlanta.k12.ga.us 404-853 4000 ext 216 for more information.
