Placement Test Info

We are excited to help place your student in classes that will both challenge and inspire. Class placement is a multi-step process.

The first step requires your student to take a placement test. We host several opportunities for students to take the placement test in-person at Wheaton Academy.

• The English and Math Placement Tests are required for all full time students.
  • The English test is a two-part test. Each part is 50 minutes, including selected passages for reading comprehension analysis and a brief essay.
  • The Math test is a 60 minute skill-based test that assesses proficiency. This test also informs Physics placement for freshmen and Science placement for transfers.
• The World Language Placement Test or Interview is required for students who:
  • Plan to enroll in Chinese II, Spanish II, French II, or higher-level courses.
  • Speak a second language at home and wish to study that language as a course.

Are you a Homeschool Partnership student?
Partnership students who plan to take Math and/or English at Wheaton Academy are also required to take a placement test.

• Encourage them to not be too nervous and get a good night’s sleep.
• Please ask your student to bring several #2 pencils as the tests use scantrons.
