(Memo from Ms. Rubin): Mr. Wolf suggested that I send you the Test Prep Practice Websites that are listed on PrepHQ. In addition to the FREE websites, I've sent you the fee-based tutors and prep courses that are advertised to all students and their parents.
You all have access to PrepHQ by going to www.bellaire.org , click on "counselors' page", click on the "PREPHQ" link under the calendar. Your user name and password are the same - "teacher" (without the quotation marks).
