Practice SAT at DHS open to all area students Dallas High School, in conjunction with the Princeton Review, will host a practice Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) on Saturday, Feb. 10 at 8 a.m. at the Dallas High School. The test will replicate conditions of the real SAT. Students who participate will get to keep the test booklet and will receive a print- out detailing their strengths and weaknesses. This is a great chance for all area high school students to take a “dry run” through the SAT process without the worry of the results showing up on their transcripts. Cost is $15; checks should be made payable to Dallas High School, and sent to the Dallas High School Guidance Office, P.O. Box 2000, Dallas, PA 18612. Checks must be received by Feb. 2 in order to be registered. Register early, as space is limited and the test is always a sellout. For more information or if you have questions, call the DHS Guidance Dept. at 674-7218.
