Placement Test
A placement test (also called the CTP5) is required prior to course selection for all students. The CTP5 will measure skills in verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and math. It usually takes a full morning, starting at 8:00 a.m., and ending around 12:00 noon.

Scheduling Conference
After all testing and evaluations have been completed, the next step is a Scheduling Conference with an Adviser Chair. You will receive a call from the Adviser Chair or Assistant Principal’s offices within days of your student completing placement testing. During this meeting your student will be assigned an adviser and a schedule for classes. You and your student may ask any questions you have about New Trier and our programs at this time.
