Seniors It does not take as much time as the SAT to take even though it is taken in three sections. A College Requirement The SAT and the ACT are col- lege entrance tests. Every col- lege requires one or the other. Some accept both. The SAT is based on a person ' s Mathematical and English abili- ties. It takes approximately four hours to take the test. Out of a total score of 1600 the average score is 900. Most students think it is hard. Some students when asked their opinion said that the SAT was unconsciously bi- ased . While others considered the test fair to all, they replied that it tests you on the level you are expected to be on by 12th grade. They don ' t expect you to make a perfect score. Most peo- ple said that from their exper- ience, when they studied, they made better scores. How does one study for the SAT? Among the suggestions was for one to study the dictio- nary for vocabulary, to do a lot of reading on various subjects, to look up all new words, and prac- tice using them in everyday life. The ACT test is not as popular. Mbnie Economics - Home Ec-o-nom- ics Webster ' s definition — n: the study of ttie various arts and skills involved in the care and management of a house- hold.

Seniors . inSTHLLRTIO The Probe Fair was a gathering of a small number of college re- presentatives. The representa- tives had the necessary applica- tions and they were always ready to answer a question. The NSSFNS fair however was more extensive. This fair had more col- leges from all around. The col- leges were quick to win one over with little souvenirs they gave away. The fairs gave juniors a previews so that they could begin making their choices early. For the seniors, the fairs made deci- sion making a little bit easier. Short of touring a college cam- pus, Probe and NSSFNS were the next best thing to being there.
