Taking this placement exam does not guarantee placement in an AP class. Your 9th-grade science class does not impact your other course placement, nor does it impact your progression in science throughout high school. A few helpful tips: • Make sure you are logged into your stuy.edu email account • Make sure your device is plugged in/fully charged so you don't have to stress during your exam. • Set a timer for 50 minutes, and you make sure to click "Submit" at the end of the form. If you don't submit before time is up, your work will not be saved. • Keep paper and pencil nearby in case you want to jot down some notes based on the passages you read. • The placement exam has 8 sections- you will need to press "Next" to unlock each section (only 7 are science question sections with a total of approximately 40 questions; the first section is for your name, OSIS, etc. Make sure you have your OSIS (Student ID) ready!) • Take a deep breath! You may not recognize everything, but you will be able to solve it based on the content presented.
