8. Where Do I Go From Here?

9. 1-When & Where: Given May 7 th during the school day Guidance counselor will proctor Test runs 3hrs 15 min (about 4 hrs w/ explainations & breaks) Arrive by 7:15 2-How is the test broken up? Free Response: 3 non-calculator & 3 calculator questions Multiple Choice: 28 non-calculator & 17 calculator questions 3-Money? $84 due by March 17 th If a student decides not to take test s/he will get all of money back but $20

10. 4-Should I take the test? We will practice for an entire month before it is time to take the exam Kids take a REAL practice test about 1 week before Grade the same as AP people-good indicator of how they will do on test. 99% of time kids will do the same or better. Want score of 3 or better (some colleges/universities want 4 or better) Benefits-Can save money -help kids take lighter load -graduate earlier -give good indication of college level test & how they will do nationally

11. Practice Test College Exam 5 7 14 4 16 10 3 9 6 2 3 3 1

12.  Still have final  Still work after test  Still have:  Performance Assessments  Core Assessments

13. Johnny bought a cow for $70, sold it for $80, bought it back again for $90, and then sold it for a final time for $100. How much profit, if any, did Johnny make?

14.  Thank you for coming!
