Placement Testing

What is placement testing?

Placement testing is for students who have prior coding experience and would like to skip a particular class in our structured program. Placement tests are only available for the first 3 classes in each of our programs (only available for first 2 classes in Elementary Program).

How does it work?

• Go to our Placement Test and enter your student’s age to determine the test they should take.
• Once you submit payment, a link to the test will be provided on-screen and emailed to you.
• Please set aside 45 – 60 minutes (per test) in a quiet environment for your student to complete and submit the test. 
• The test will be scored immediately and you will receive results on-screen and via email.
  • If they pass: They will have the option to take the next exam (if applicable) or choose to enroll in the program, skipping the course they tested out of. 
  • If they fail: Students can enroll in the program based on the suggested starting course determined by their score. 
• Based on your student’s results, we’ll give you a list of upcoming class start dates for your child, and you can enroll seamlessly into the CodeWizardsHQ program.
