Placement Test
Placement Test for Admission to CBHS
All ninth-grade applicants are required to take the placement test for admission.
The placement test at CBHS takes place on December 10. Those who miss the December 7 admissions application deadline will be scheduled for the makeup test date on January 7, 2023. To qualify for a merit-based Presidential scholarship, an applicant must test at CBHS on the primary test date.
The Placement Test is structured like the ACT and includes sections covering English, Math, Reading, and Science. Students will also be given a writing prompt and asked to write a short essay.
As stated in the application, parents must submit all psychoeducational documentation to the Admissions Office prior to December 7 if the applicant would like to receive testing accommodations (e.g. extended time).
