They'd like to include an artist's rendition of Earth, can the shoggoths help this artist get it right?

Yeah! Bright has ever seen lots of maps, though she hasn't seen Earth from space, but can turn into an extremely accurate globe.

Turning into a globe is perfect! The artist takes photos of A Portrait Of The Shoggoth As An Earth Globe and then renders it with some extrapolated cloud cover and such for the video.

That makes her giggle, but it works!

Getting all the footage for these videos sewn up takes a while. Now she can go in for her placement tests!

Placement tests sound fun but she arranges to be there. With a minimum of anxiety, even.

The test proctor tells her that if anything on the tests confuses her, or if she needs anything about the environment to be different, she should let him know. He explains the scoring system for the first test (it has a penalty for guessing, which works out to it being a good idea to answer rather than skip a question only if you can rule out at least two of five answers). If a question seems to her to be badly posed, or require knowledge it shouldn't, she can ask the proctor, and he has some discretion about when to give her explanations or replace the question with an equivalent question at no penalty. She can adjust the lightswitch and the air conditioning system if she wants. There's a snack machine and a drink machine over there and while she's taking tests everything in them are free. She may borrow this calculator for the math test if she wants. Is there anything else she might like?

She could use scrap paper and pencils for notes! That's how she's used to doing a lot of school thinking. And is it okay for her to talk out loud to herself?

Also is there a time limit? Or a way to know how long it's been since she started?

He can get her scrap paper and pencils! It is totally okay to talk out loud. Some of the tests are timed, but the first one is not; there is a clock over there.

She thinks she's ready, then!

Then here is her math placement!

Math is still hard! The calculator helps a lot with the worst parts, though. Bright uses it for every single equation, but has trouble focusing, so often has to get up and bounce around and hum. Still, she eventually gets into a zone on it, and works through the rest at a steady clip.

She does better than she would in a human school, but probably a little bit behind grade level still.

She doesn't get her results right away; the proctor comes out and explains the next placement test, which is on language skills.

Okay! Are the rules different for this one?

This one doesn't have a guessing penalty, so she should try to answer every question unless it's weird and she wants the proctor to replace it. Some of the questions you're supposed to answer as ranked choice, to identify what's the most versus least felicitous way to put something, or the most versus least clear.

Oh, that makes sense!

She's ready for the test, then.

Here's the test! It has audio parts.

She needs an explanation for how to rewind and pause the audio parts, but as long as they're not too long she doesn't have trouble, and if they're interesting she also doesn't have trouble.

She has magically advanced language skills!

Then she will get lots of questions right, though this test also does not give her results right away!

There is a test for the details of her attention and organization disorder; the proctor explains that this won't constrain what classes she can take at their school, it'll just give the teachers something to go on when trying to make the material work for her.

Okay! 

What's this test like?

It's kind of a weird test! It involves counting how many times there's a beeping noise or a flashing light while other stuff goes on, and some memory tests, and a sort of choose your own adventure story where she has to track inventory of her character in her head.

She is bad at counting while other stuff's happening! She is better at memory. She is good at the inventory stuff that's mentally 'big', like armor and swords or weird things like technology and magic, but bad at the inventory stuff that's mentally 'small', like money.

This one does give her scores right away but they're kind of opaque ("Object Conscientiousness Product: 7.8").

Next is reading comprehension! She will be given passages - one paragraph to a few pages - and quizzed on them.

She's confused by some of the Amentan-specific stuff, and not actually a good reader, so even with a few questions that're too locally knowledge-y being explained or swapped out she still does pretty frustratingly poorly on this.

There are some short subject matter knowledge tests on science and history and civics.
