Under Michigan legislation, high school students may request the opportunity to “Test Out” of any high school class they select. The intent of Section 1279b is to allow students to demonstrate knowledge and skills they already possess to enroll in higher level courses. Students are not eligible to “Test Out” of a course in which they are currently enrolled or have previously failed. If you believe you have the extensive knowledge and background to demonstrate competency in a course, you may wish to consider this opportunity.
A student who successfully tests out of a course will receive credit toward graduation for the course. In order to pass, the legislation requires students to achieve a C+ (78%) or better. The Test Out grade will simply be a “pass” and will not be included in the calculation of the student’s grade point average. Test Out opportunities will be offered in rooms C102 and C103 at Traverse City West Senior High School, 5376 North Long Lake Road on the following dates and times:
Thursday, May 13th, from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Saturday, May 15th, from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Saturday, May 15th, from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Student results will be available on June 1st in their high school counseling offices. Students need to declare their intent to Test Out by obtaining an application from their counselor and completing the application by the application deadline. THIS COMPLETED APPLICATION MUST BE RETURNED TO THE COUNSELOR BY APRIL 26, 2010.
Some courses require students to complete extended projections and/or research papers, in addition to passing the Test Out final exam. This additional work must be completed by June 25, 2010.
For more information on Test Out, please contact your school counselor.
