Testing Out gives a student the opportunity to skip a course if they can demonstrate proficiency in the course material. Each class has a different set of requirements which can range from only passing an exam to completing independent work or portfolio assignments in addition to a required exam. In all cases a C+ (76%) is the minimum score allowed for “passing”. Students who earn a C+ (76%) or better will earn credit for the class and are allowed to enroll in the next course in the sequence. Students who pass a test out exam will receive a grade of P (Pass) on their transcript which will not be calculated in a student’s G.P.A.
Students are given the opportunity to test out two times each calendar year, in late August and again in mid-January. There is no flexibility on the announced test dates each year. Students must be available on the testing date if they want to participate in Testing Out.
The sign up windows are as follows:
August: Students may sign up during the spring. Please see the application for dates and deadlines. Study materials are usually available on the Tuesday after school is out in June.
January: Students may sign up in the fall. Please see the application for dates and deadlines. Study materials pick up are usually available during the second week of November.
