[bhs at idiom.com]

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY to the etree, contact Michael Weitz, Math
Department Chair [mailto:mweitz at berkeley.k12.ca.us]

The Berkeley High School math department will conduct a  Honors
testing for the 08/09 school year in April.  

* The dates are 4/7, 4/10, 4/14, 4/15 and 4/17 and the exams will be
given at 3:45 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 new to BHS need to sign up with Mr. Weitz via e-mail to take
the test.  His e-mail is mweitz at berkeley.k12.ca.us.

For current BHS students, they will sign up for the test in March.
Mr. Weitz will have sign-up sheets available outside of the door to
H113.  Space will be limited so students should sign up early as new
test days will be held only if the offered days fill up.  No sign up =
no test.

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.
