math placement<br />

Math placement for students who take any math assessment test will be made after considering<br />

both the assessment and HSPT scores. The math placement test evaluates students<br />

on Algebra 1 skills and concepts derived from the California Common Core Mathematics<br />

Standards. Types <strong>of</strong> questions include integer arithmetic; solving equations; linear equations;<br />

systems <strong>of</strong> equations; exponents and radicals; quadratic equations, including real-world applications<br />

<strong>of</strong> these skills/concepts.<br />

The test will consist <strong>of</strong> multiple choice questions and a few free response questions (word<br />

problems). We will provide scantrons and scratch paper. Please bring two #2 pencils.<br />

No calculator is allowed.<br />

algebra 2 readiness<br />

This test is for students that have taken Algebra 1 and Geometry in middle school. It will<br />

assess a student’s understanding <strong>of</strong> algebraic and geometric methods as covered by O’Dowd’s<br />

Algebra 1 and Geometry courses. Both courses are derived from the California Common<br />

Core Mathematics Standards. A passing score on this test will place students in Honors<br />

Algebra 2 and Trigonometry. Note, students must take the Math Placement Test before taking<br />

this test.<br />
