Exam IntegrityAn exam is the final assessment for a course unit; it is not a diagnostic tool. All exams must be taken under the direct supervision of an authorized, certificated staff member. PASS Workbook users may test using the on-line exam or the paper exam with the Scantron form. Before approving a student to take an exam, the teacher of record should ensure that the student is well prepared. Reviewing a student's Quiz Detail report and the completed activity pages will assist with this process. In the event that a test is given to a student for purposes other than the final assessment, the integrity and credibility of the PASS Program would be violated. It is the position of the PASS Program that such an action would constitute negligence on the part of any individual engaged in such an endeavor. If such an activity is discovered, it is appropriate for the local school district to take immediate action to rectify the situation and to deal with any such offender in accordance with District Policy. Exam RetakesA student is permitted to retake an exam only if the first attempt is failed. There is one exception to this rule; once a course is passed, no other exams may be retaken. A course is passed when all five unit exams are completed, at least four of the five unit exams are passed, and the average of the highest score received for each unit exam is sixty percent (60%) or higher. At no point will a third attempt be permitted. Scoring an ExamA score of 90 - 100% is an "A", 80 - 89.9% is a "B", 70 - 79.9% is a "C", 60 - 69.9% is a "D", and a score below 60% is an "F". A score of 60% ("D") or higher is required to pass an exam. Completing a CourseA course is passed when all five unit exams are completed, at least four of the five unit exams are passed, and the average of the highest score received for each unit exam is sixty percent (60%) or higher. No additional exams may be taken for a course once it is passed or once the system determines that the student failed to meet the passing criteria. TranscriptsA student's five-credit transcript will be automatically mailed the following work day after completion of every course. However, during the summer months, transcripts are held from mid-June to early-August and mailed prior to the opening of the new school year. Partial transcripts are not sent automatically and may be requested online from the Cyber High Management section. Official transcripts are mailed exclusively to the school's registrar. |
