Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School
Freshman Placement Tests
Placement tests are offered by Brebeuf Jesuit’s Mathematics, English, World Language, and Social Studies
departments to determine the course level best suited for each student. Students only need to take the placement
exam(s) in the area(s) in which they have an existing academic record or interest and would find the entry level course
repetitive. Students not taking the respective exam will be placed in the entry level course.
There will be additional information about the upcoming placement tests during Curriculum Night, on Sunday,
April 21 from 4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. or Wednesday, April 24 from 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
English: Honors English Placement Application
Students interested in taking Honors English for their first year at Brebeuf Jesuit are invited to take an exam that will
contain a brief grammatical section that will test their understanding of basic grammar and a written component in
which students will be asked to respond in written form to a prompt based on a poem they receive that day. If you
have any questions, please contact Chuck Fanara in the English Department, 524.7007, or [email protected].
Social Studies: Honors World History and Civilization Placement Test
Any student interested in this course must take the placement exam, consisting of short essay and multiple choice
