Math and Spanish Placement Exam

The Math and Spanish Placement Tests are optional , and should only be completed by students looking to place out of Algebra 1 and Spanish 1! Click below to read more and register for the exam(s). ONLY ONE MATH AND SPANISH SESSION REMAINS, MONDAY, JUNE 10TH!      It is our understanding that you may have completed Algebra 1 and/or Spanish courses before entering Bonner & Prendie in September . Because of this, some of you will be placed in our Honors Algebra 1 course. However, some of you may qualify to take Algebra 2 and/or Spanish 2 during your freshmen year so we are offering a placement test for those interested in testing out of Algebra 1 and/or Spanish 1. If you believe you are qualified to test out of Algebra 1 or Spanish 1, you may register for the test below! Each test usually runs about one hour, and you do not need to take both exams. Cell phones and calculators are not permitted during the test. We will meet in the main lobby of Bonner & Prendie 15 minutes before the test to allow you to “check in”. Should you have any questions, please email the Math Department Chair, Mrs. Liz Farren (P '19, '21) at farren@bonnerprendie.com or our World Language Department Chair, Dr. Monica Floyd (P '20) at floyd@bonnerprendie.com ! Congratulations on your graduation and enjoy your summer!
