Honors testing is comprised of 2 assessments:

The Cognitive Skills Index (CSI) is an aptitude test.  The 4 areas tested are sequences, analogies, memory, and verbal reasoning.  The CSI compares a student's cognitive ability with that of students who are the same age without regard to grade placement.

The writing sample is an additional tool used to determine English and Social Science placement.  Students are given a writing prompt and will have 1 hour to complete a writing sample in response to the prompt.
