TESTING SCHEDULES FOR ACT, SAT and AP EXAMS

|
 |
2008-2009
COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS, the FLORIDA BRIGHT FUTURES SCHOLARSHIP and many outside scholarships require that graduating high school seniors submit their scores from the American College Test (ACT) and/or the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT).
These nationally recognized tests are administered locally each year. Registration packets are available at all Pinellas County high school guidance offices. Information about dates and locations of the tests are available from school counselors, and dates are also posted below, for your convenience. Some students decide to take the tests two or even three times to try to improve their scores, so it's advisable not to wait until the last few months to begin taking these tests.

AP EXAM TESTING DATES
How Do I Enroll?
Once you've decided to take the AP challenge it's easy to enroll.
Talk to an AP teacher or the AP Coordinator at your school about the course you want to take. Discuss the course's workload and any preparation you might need.
If you are a homeschooled student or attend a school that doesn't offer AP, you can still participate. Each year hundreds of students participate through independent study. Some states even sponsor online AP courses.

Quick note: Please contact your school guidance office and/or AP teacher for more information about the AP exams and the AP test dates.
