Students if you don’t want to start college with zero units which are credits, sign-up for the AP (Advance Placement) Test.
The test is offered to all sophomores, juniors and seniors. By taking the test and passing it you automatically receive five units. It does not matter what college you apply for, you’re units will follow you through out any college.
American Government, Biology, Calculus, Foreign Language, and US History are the categories that the AP Test contains. If you’re interested in any of these categories you can choose to take more than one AP Test. If you pass all the AP Tests you will receive five units for each test passed.
Senior Laura Gutierrez, said that she might take the Foreign Language test because she wants to know how much she has learned about that language. Gutierrez said, “I think it will help me because I can help others by knowing the language and translating for them.”
If you plan to take the test(s), go see Mrs. Suarez in the career center for the sign-up sheets. There is also a fee waiver if you qualify you only pay 5 dollars for each test. If you do not qualify for the waver the cost is 79 dollars plus tax for each test.

The deadline date for the sign-up sheets is March 10th. Hurry, you don’t want to miss this great opportunity for earning more than five units! For more information please contact Mrs. Suarez.
