Placement scores are valid for three years. During that three-year period students may not re-take the placement test. However, students may verify their original placement once. Verification must be accomplished before enrolling in the course or within the first week of the chosen verification course.   Students who especially feel that their placement scores do not accurately reflect their abilities may take any one or all of the placement test sections (English, Reading, or Math).  

The verification exam is different from the placement test.  Its sole purpose is to verify placement and/or to attempt to place a student into honors English. These exams resemble the final examination of the chosen course. The Verification Exam may confirm    the placement results or allow the student to progress to the next course(s). These tests will not place the student in a lower level.

There is a $5.00 fee for each verification exam per subject. There is no charge for Honors English exam or the biology bypass test.
