Placement Test
Placement Test for Admission to CBHS
All incoming 9th-grade applicants are required to take the placement test for admission.
The placement test at CBHS takes place on December 14, 2024. Those who miss the December 6, 2024 admissions application deadline will be scheduled for the makeup test in January 2025. To qualify for a merit-based Presidential scholarship, an applicant must test at CBHS on the primary test date or the makeup test date.
The Placement Test is structured like the ACT and includes sections covering English, Math, Reading, and Science. Students are also given a writing prompt and asked to write a short essay.
Extended Time on Placement Exam
Parents must submit a psychoeducational evaluation from a licensed professional to the Admissions Office prior to December 6 if the applicant needs to receive testing accommodations (extended time).
