Placement Testing Information

List of 5 items.

• What time should I be picked up from testing?

  Foreign Language testing will take approximately 75 minutes. Students only completing a Foreign Language placement test on their scheduled date will be finished around 10:15am

  
  Mathematics testing is untimed; therefore each student will finish his test at a different time. For the sake of planning, each specific test (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II) should take approximately 45 minutes to complete. If your student is taking one Mathematics test, allot 45 minutes. If your student is taking two Mathematics tests, allot 1 hour and 30 minutes. If your student is taking three Mathematics tests, allot 2 hours and 15 minutes. 

• How should I dress for testing?

  Each student should dress casual and comfortable. 

• What should I bring on testing day?

  Each student should bring their own pencils. We will provide extras if the student's pencil breaks during the test. If you are taking the Mathematics placement test, students may bring a TI-83, TI-84, or a basic four-function calculator. Snacks and water bottles are permitted. 
  

• How does CHC know which Mathematics placement test I wish to take?

  Students do not need to indicate what section(s) of the Mathematics placement test they are taking ahead of time. This will be handled and explained by their proctors on the day of testing. Every student taking the Mathematics placement test will complete the Algebra I placement test regardless of his current course in 8th grade. If a student is currently taking, or previously completed, a course in Geometry and/or Algebra II and wishes to take a test for either or both of those subjects, they can take those sections as well to try to place out of those courses. 

• What time should I be dropped off for testing?

  Please arrive at the main entrance of Keelty Hall, 15 minutes before your testing begins on your scheduled date. Testing will start promptly at 9:00 a.m. for Foreign Language and 10:30 a.m. for Mathematics.
