2011 Test Out Information
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.

 
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.
 
The option to test out will be offered at Traverse City West Senior High School, Rooms C102 and C103, on Thursday, May 12th, from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. and on Saturday, May 14th, from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Student “test-out” results will be available on June 1, 2011 in the appropriate high school counseling office. Students need to declare their intent to “test-out” by obtaining an application from their high school counselor and completing the application by the application deadline. The application must be returned to the counselor no later than April 22, 2011.
 
Some courses, require students to complete extended projects and/or research papers, in addition to passing the Test Out final exam. This additional work must be completed by June 17, 2011.
 
Please contact your school counselor for more infomation.

Test Out Application: Print out and complete the Test Out Application and return to your student's counselor no later than April 22, 2011. Counselors will verify a student's eligibility prior to signing his/her application.
