Let me know if you are attending the full-length practice exam on Saturday morning. Yes, I know it's the morning after the senior formal. Tough decision, I guess! The exam is right around the corner! We will start testing at 8; I will bring bagels (yes, that's a bribe). Testing takes 3 hours and 15 minutes, so you'll be done by 11:30. I need confirmation by Thursday.
