The Berkeley High School math department will conduct a second round
of Honors testing for the 07/08 school year in late August/early
September.  

* The August dates are 8/21 and 8/22 and the exams will be given at
10:30 am in room H306.  
* The September dates are 9/4 and 9/6 and the exams will be given at
3:30 pm in room H306.  

Students take an exam to test into either Honors Geometry, Honors
Algebra 2 or Honors Math Analysis.  All exams consist of a 45-problem
multiple-choice test to be completed in 45 minutes.  

Students need to bring a pencil and a scientific (non-graphing)
calculator.  Students new to the district also need to supply the
e-mail address of their current math teacher.

Students need to sign up with Mr. Weitz via e-mail to take the test.
His e-mail is mweitz at berkeley.k12.ca.us.

The policy on honors testing is all students who want to take an
honors math class at Berkeley High School must pass the placement test
unless they pass the previous Honors class at Berkeley High School
with a B or better. 

Only students who have not taken the honors test or are allowed a
retake may take the test.
