TwoBoys.....I thought that too - bummer PG academic is the same weekend (June 4th) as SAT subject tests and for my son the same week as high school final exams!

I'd like to add my frustration with this as well. The best time to take these subject tests, which are standard fare for most high academic schools, is immediately after the semester ends. For most of our kids that's late May and early June, so the June 4 date is problematic. They aren't offered again until October.

One thought about this, however: If all PG events end up measuring the same stuff, and each kid has his numbers registered in the PG data base, maybe this isn't as big a problem as it looks?
