If you are in periods 2 or 6 and you want extra credit (and free pizza!), there is another AP English Language Saturday study session on March 4th! Attending this is worth an extra 5 points on your final grade, even if you've already attended one. Even if you're not taking the AP test in May, you will gain useful skills that will help you on every test you'll have to take in the future, and they have fun prizes you can win.
Registration is just like last time. To register, click here. You will need to select "AP English Language and Composition," NOT AP English Literature. It will take you to a new screen, where you will need to enter your name and email address (they will send you your ticket to this email, so make sure it works!) and school information. Since S.T.A.R. is ordering the tests for us, select Brooklyn, then "Science, Technology and Research Early College High School at Erasmus, and "Gregory, B" as your teacher.
Let me know if you have any trouble registering and I will help you out!
