    GEOMETRY PLACEMENT TEST

    Placement Test Instructions

    This placement test can help you determine whether your child is ready for the Geometry
    Teaching Textbook. The test is not perfect, so in making any final placement decision also use
    common sense.

    The student should work independently without the use of a calculator. It is not necessary to time
    1
    the test, but most students will finish in less than 1 hours.
    2

    Scoring
    The test is divided into two sections. Section 1 includes problems 1-15, covering material from
    the first half of our Algebra 1 product. Section 2 includes problems 16-30, covering material
    from the geometry chapters of our Pre-Algebra.

    The student is probably ready for Geometry if he/she makes the following scores on the two
    sections.

    8 or more correct on Section 1 (problems 1 – 15)


    and 8 or more correct on Section 2 (problems 16 – 30)

    If the student’s score falls below this level, he/she might want to spend some time reviewing
    Algebra 1 and the geometry chapters in Pre-Algebra before starting the Geometry course.
