New SAT Class

We have a large group for the June-July Tuesday evening SAT class. Because the scores were spread out, we divided the class into two groups, moving one group to Thursday. I hope this will make the class better for all the students.

We already have five students in the July Saturday class, a lot this far in advance. So if you've been thinking about that class, better call us soon.

Otherwise, it's been quiet the last couple of weeks. We're using the time to get caught up on the to-do lists.

What I learned from the ACT this morning

Hi there alll,

I sat for the ACT this morning. The room I was in didn't have a clock and guess who forgot a watch?  Yes...me.  Oh well.

The English and Math tests went well--or so I think now. (I might find out otherwise when I get my scores.) Perhaps overconfident, I was enjoying the reading passages, thinking I was using the time well, when the proctor announced "5 minutes remaining."  Yikes!  I was still on the 3rd of 4 passages. I hurried on to the last passage and barely finished. I probably made mistakes because of rushing. Then I think I totall bombed the science. By the time that test began, I was in the "hurry" mindset, and couldn't seem to find my concentration again.

We'll see in a few weeks, but I'm betting that my composite for this test is lower than for last year's test.
