Without Prior Instruction (if a student has not taken the course)
A student may be permitted to take an exam to earn credit for an academic course for which the student has had no prior instruction. A student will earn credit with a passing score of at least 80 on the exam. A student may not attempt to earn credit by examination for a specific high school course more than two times. If the student failed to earn the credit, the student must be enrolled in the class to complete the course. Additionally, students are limited to two credits by this process per academic year and they must take the appropriate STAAR®/EOC test. Tests are administered upon submission and approval of a district application.
