Week of April 19th

Wheeewwwww...the 1st round of the FSA is finished! The entire class was wonderful in their effort and focus.  We had 2 different proctors during the tests.  Each one complimented the class on their behavior and their great concentration! The results will take a few weeks to be processed.  The tests are scored off site so, Belmont is not in control of the results timeline.
