Aquinas' Placement/Scholarship Exams are typically offered the third Saturday in November, and the first two Saturdays in December of each preceding school year.  

Students who sit for these exams at Aquinas and earn a top five score will be eligible to receive a one-time $1,000 Kenneth P. Schleich ’46 Placement Exam Award. 

After the November and December exams, Aquinas offers occasional make-up placement exams, however, students who sit for these exams will not be eligible for the Placement Exam Award.  

At this time, any incoming 6th, 7th, or 9th grade student who still needs to sit for a placement exam to complete the admissions process, may submit a letter of recommendation in its place.
