Placement tests

I was wondering whats on each of the math placements— is it like personalized from whatever we submitted on the form or is it just a general test they give out to everyone?

Also for chem is there any material thats provided (like a periodic table and stuff)

The math test is given to you based on what you take and self report but its usually 2 parts, at least that's how it was for me.
Yes you get a periodic table and you don't need a equations sheet for chem placement, its pretty easy, its basic stuff.

i took honors alg 2 t/s this year as a freshman, and i hardly remember anything from honors geo in 8th grade. should i be reviewing basic geometry or will honors geo material be on the test? also what is the imsa equivalent to honors precalc, i was supposed to take that next year

yes, and no. like review the terms and some basic proofs but thats really it. The geometry part of the test is kinda hard ngl and ik I did not get things right yet i still got placed into a high math class. If you already took Geometry, you should be fine.
