Testing Out

Testing Out Option

Public Act 335 of 1993 states that high school credit may be earned in any course offered by the school through testing out. This applies to all Howell High School courses with the exception of courses lower in sequence of those already passed. This “credit” verifies proficiency of the course objectives. A grade of 77% or higher is needed to have this credit appear on the high school transcript. Failure to earn a 77% or better will not be reflected on the transcript. Testing can not be used to replace a grade earned in a course already taken. It will serve as credit only. Students may not test out of a class in which they are enrolled. Students will have the opportunity to test out based upon completion of the application process. Students may pick up the applications in March in the Guidance Office. Students and parents are expected to complete this application and return it to the Guidance Office by the date indicated on the application.
