This includes a standardized test used to measure the quality of work and the ability of the student to process information. Also included is a short essay that simply shows the writing ability of the student regarding sentence structure and clarity of thought. While the testing is important, we do consider previous testing, transcripts, teacher recommendations, and interviews. Please call to schedule a testing date.
