Since finishing Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, we have transitioned into studying/practicing for the test, which will be taking place Thursday May 8th at 7:30 AM.
Since the majority of the materials that we’re using are official College Board materials, I will not be posting them here, so if you need make-up materials or additional practice tests please come in to tutorial so I can provide them for you.
Here is the general breakdown of the week(ish):
Friday, April 25: Final test (in-class essay) on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
