Credit by Exam
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.
