ATTENTION:  I am moving the exam date one week forward to the week of February 27, 2012.  So, what does this mean?  It means that MW classes will have their exam on February 29, 2012 while my Tuesday Night Class will have its exam on February 28, 2012 starting at 7:00 pm.  Both my TR class and Thursday Night (7:30 pm exam start) class will have their exam on March 1.  This also means that I am going to push the Paragraph Exam forward by one week as well.   
 
Practice Tests can be found here http://www.gsc.edu/academics/acadenrich/ls/CPE/Pages/English.aspx
