The Honors portion of the placement test covers these standards as well and has some more problems requiring students to problem solve and synthesize mathematical content. <br><br>2. After posting the dates for the math placement tests for <b>new-to-BUSD </b>students we realized that students from at least two schools (Tehiyah and Black Pine Circle) would not be available on the scheduled dates.
