Competency Exams
The Mathematics Department requires any student who
completes and passes a summer course or online course to take and pass a
comprehensive competency assessment in that subject to receive credit
and placement for that course. This procedure ensures that students who
take a summer course or an online course outside of the Piscataway
Township Schools meet the Piscataway School District standard of
proficiency.
Below please find outlines for each assessment that is
given. A student planning to take one of these required exams should
refer to the outline for that exam to be fully prepared for the concepts
that will be tested. Additional support resources are also included in
each document.
Placement Exams
In order to properly place students who are entering
Piscataway High School from another district, the Mathematics Department
requires all newly-registered students to take a placement exam for the
course in which they plan to enroll. These exams are based on prior
knowledge and will be used along with transcripts and other information
to determine placement.
