You MUST log-on to https://satonlinecourse.collegeboard.com/SR/login/splashSchoolLogin.jsp and begin or continue the Full-Length Practice exam. I would like you to spend AT LEAST the first 25 minutes of class on answering the questions from the full-length practice test. After that, you may go to www.freerice.com or to the flash card site using the link below. I need all of you to complete the full-length practice test ASAP. It is the only way for you to know what your strengths and weaknesses are. Please stay on task.
