Ok, all of you AP students, exam time is coming up, so crack open those books and study.

Test dates are scheduled for May 7 through May 18. Each test is non-refundable and cost $83.00 and each test must be purchased by March 23 in the main office. For those students who cannot afford paying the $83.00, the classes do fundrasiers to help out. Those students who recieve reduced price meals will get a reduced price for the test.

The results will be mailed and House Four Principal Beth Davies will get a copy of her own.

Davies said she believes that the price is high, but "I have no control over the price; College Board determines the price."

What else can you do with a Google page? A lot.
