Do prep schools like Loomis, Deerfield, Exeter Do Math Placement Tests in 9th grade?

They are still on paper for our school (or at least were very recently)…at least part of them. Printed out, hand-written, scanned and sent back as a PDF. I think that is because the BS courses are so focused on seeing a kid’s thoughts on paper in their own writing…seeing how they think and articulate language or math in writing. It may sound silly, but math in BS is treated somewhat like a language, because it focuses on process, communication and ensuring that kids have a firm grasp of the components of a well-solved problem.
