If you currently are taking PSEO courses, then you already have taken the ASSET test and there is no need to retake it.  If you have taken the ASSET in  the past and did not score well, then this would be a good chance to retake it in order to have an acceptable score.  Also, If you are a Senior who is planning to go to community college and have not taken an admissions assessment then you are welcome to participate.  PLEASE Sign up in the guidance office by Tuesday noon for this opportunity.
