For this reason, on these placement tests we ask that you do as many problems as possible without the use of a calculator. On the Level One test, NO calculators are

For example, if you are an entering freshman and have only completed an eighth grade math course, and are only capable of completing a few problems on the Level One part, THIS IS FINE. If you are an entering juni

It is to assess how well you have been prepared for the sequence of courses at Emma Willard. We strive to place new students in
