• All 8th grade students (this includes all upcoming ACE Pre-IB students) who will be enrolling in Advanced Geometry or higher for their 9th grade year are required to take the FCPS Math Placement Exam. 
  
  In March, high school math department chairs visited all FCPS middle schools to administer this test.     
  
  On Thursday, May 1st, private school and home school students took their placement exams at Tates Creek High School.
  
  If students (public, private, and home school) are not satisfied with their scores, they may retake the exam(s) at TCHS on Monday, August 4th at 9:00am.  Proof of summer tutoring is required.  Parents should contact Ms. Shannon Cole, TCHS Math Department Chair, if their child should wish to retest on that date.
