Thomas Brown AVID 365 day 70 11-9-11

We got another(parallel enrollment  program) talk where you go and take college level coarse so you can already have college credit. This will help your tuition not be as high as when you actually get to college because will already have taken English 101 or math 101 coarse already while in high school. The  guidance counselor and a teacher from New Town explained the program and how you register for classes after you take the ACCU placer which tells you where you are and what classes you need to take. Also they talked about how they were taken a trip to the campus again, so if people who wanted to take the test could. Also they talked about how enrollment is about to start for spring classes and if you wanted to you could and take the test and sign up for classes immediately while you were on the trip taken the ACCU placer. I took the ACCU placer last year when i was a junior, if i could do it I'm ready for English 101 but college algebra i would have to do a builder because i fell just shy of passing, but that because i wasn't in college algebra yet. Now I'm in college Algebra  and think i would do a lot better because i would understand the test better now. Also if i went back and took the accu placer again i would be right on track to start college math 101 credit because I actually would know the material. I would knock my core college credits i just don't have a ride to get the classes.I t would save a lot of money to knock out 101's and main classes.  This definitely helps you because save money and can use it for something else. For instance if you take English 101 and you don't have to take it when you get there thousand dollars you don't have to put towards that credit or class. Also it going to cost you money to pay for class but it still worth taking in high school so you don't have to do it when your in college.
