Students may choose the month, but not the exact date.

Credit by Examination (CBE), is the process by which an eligible student may take an approved exam covering the essential knowledge and skills for a grade or course in which he/she has had with or without prior instruction.

For High School courses, each semester of a one credit course is tested with a separate exam; therefore, a student attempting to earn 1 credit must earn at least 80% or better on both semester exams without receiving prior instruction except for the EOC tested courses.  A student who scores 80% or better on only one semester exam will receive 1/2 credit.  A student attempting to recover credit after receiving instruction must earn at least 70% on both semester exams in order to be awarded credit.  Students who take an end-of-course subject area for credit recovery must still take and pass the end-of-course state assessment.

For Grades K - 8, a student must take four exams (language arts/reading, math, science, social studies) and must earn at least 80% on all four tests to advance to the next grade level.

A $25 fee is charged for each exam and required for registration for the exam(s) chosen.  For acceleration purposes only: Students will receive their deposit back when they arrive to take their exam on the scheduled day.
