Three major items were discussed today.
SAT
- The next two dates for SAT are on Oct 7 & November 4. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to opt for the November 4 date.
- It is important to begin the day with 40 minutes of digital SAT from Khan Academy and Collegeboard. It must be in the early MORNING, when our minds are blank.
Significant Activity

WHY Major
