Students five years or older are placed in a Placement Exam. We send you a report with the results. The Placement Exam was designed to start behind the student and catch up to their level so that the system has a puzzle game feel of starting easy and becoming more challenging. The placement exam continues until the student is fully placed, and if it takes longer for some students it means those students are ready for more advanced materials. Students younger than five are placed based on their age.
