Exam for Acceleration (EA) 

Exam for acceleration allows students who have NOT had formal instruction but have already mastered content and skills in a particular course to advance by scoring an 80% or higher for credit.  These tests are developed by the University of Texas UT High School or Texas Tech University Independent School District. To be eligible, performance and test records must indicate a high probability for success.  Students and parents should submit the exam for acceleration results to their campus prior to the first school day of the academic year if the student desires the exam results to impact the student’s schedule for that academic year.  While students may take exams for acceleration at any time, campuses are not required to change student schedules mid-year to accommodate exam results.  District testing dates are scheduled 4 times a year.
