Consistent scores of 90 or above in Math Composite Score for Standardized Testing (National Percentiles).
Consistent scores of 85 or above in the Reading Comprehension of the Standardized Testing.
Evidence of above average performances on Mathematics Level Mastery Tests (Diocesan Level Testing). Students admitted from other programs/schools should be tested using previous copies of the level tests. "Above average performance" is interpreted as a score of 85 or above.
Consistent grades of 90 or above in Mathematics on the report card.
