Assessments for grades K-1 will take a 45-minute face-to-face assessment with a highly qualified teacher. Applicants in grades 2-10 will take a 2-hour web-based diagnostic assessment. All Oahu assessments will be administered at the Oahu Learning Center. Neighbor Island assessments will be administered at various site locations. These assessments will assist in the placement of math and language arts courses.
