High school diploma

[Sal737]

Now that the new law states that high school students don't have to take the exit exam to graduate ,only have the requirements to graduate . I want to know how I can go about to get my high school diploma knowing that I had the requirements to graduate at the time even though I didn't pass one of the tests for the exit exam . How can I follow up on getting my high school diploma and am I able to ?

How can you meet the requirements to Graduate if you can't pass the exit exam?

It was one test I didn't pass by a couple points the point is there's kids that didn't even have to try and take it at this point and I was trying to graduate not just pass by .

I'm sorry. I misread your first post and thought you did not pass any of the exit tests.

Again I am sorry

Don't worry Blue - this is a California thing. There are two components to the Exit Exam (Math and English.) OP failed one or the other. What you asked could be considered a valid question; it's a matter of perspective. If one only passed one of the two components, it could be said that has not successfully completed the California High School Exit Exam.

I thought the exit test was like our Finals. And Finals are in all Major courses.

Our state decided it was a good idea to see if graduating seniors could perform at a sophomore level...most can, many can't.

That is so sad. Sr. are expected to perform at a Senior level here.

It works the same way in my state. The kids can start taking the test as a sophomore and if they pass it that year, they do not have to take it again.

In my state 9-12th grade get mid-term and final exams. Both are a big portion of final grade.

We have those too - this isn't a school thing, it's a statewide thing (standardized test.)

Yup. States do love the standardized testing!! We now have MCAS -PARCC. That starts in 4th grade. for 2 weeks before the test the teachers prepare the kids. Schools that don't do well lose funding. In some cases accreditation.
