It's my understanding that the SIS and 2 essays are administered after the 1st round.

The Student Information Sheet

All semifinalists must complete the Student Information Sheet (SIS) portion of the admissions process.  The Student Information Sheet, or SIS, will be administered in a controlled setting at fifteen school sites (12 in Fairfax County and one each in Arlington, Loudoun, and Prince William counties).  Click here for a listing of school sites.  Semifinalists will complete the SIS at the same site they were assigned to take the December 2013 admissions test.

For information on preparing for the Student Information Sheet, including sample questions, click here.

The Essays

[b]After a ten-minute break[/b], semifinalists will have one hour to write two essays in response to two different essay questions. One essay question focuses on real-world problem solving, often with an ethical component. The other essay question focuses on self-assessment by the student.
