World Language Exemption Exams
Tuesday, May 5, 2020 at 3:00 p.m.
Make up : May 14, 2020 at 3:00 p.m.
This is for students who are currently enrolled in or have already completed the first level of a world language.

Students enrolled in a Diocesan grade school will take the test at their own school on Tuesday, May 7. Students who are enrolled in a public or other private school must come to Bishop O'Connell on May 7.

In addition to taking the placement test, all Spanish Heritage speakers must come for an interview with Ms. Yanine. This means that if your student attends a diocesan school, he/she will also need to come to Bishop O'Connell to take the Heritage Speakers portion of the placement test.

Non-diocesan students should also have their language teacher submit a letter of recommendation to Adriene Cunningham, Chair of World Languages, Bishop O'Connell HS, Arlington VA 22213. If you have any questions, please contact Adriene Cunningham, acunningham@bishopoconnell.org.

English Honors Exam

Incoming 9th graders who did not meet the English Honors prerequisites (HSPT verbal and language scores >= 90 AND and A in English 8) may take the qualifying exam. The test will be held on April 22 and April 23 at 2:30 p.m. You only need to attend one of the testing dates.

This test is only for students who did not automatically qualify for English Honors. If you have any questions regarding the test, please contact our English Department Chair, Mrs. Lewicki, clewicki@bishopoconnell.org
