Examination for Acceleration allows students, who without direct instruction have
already mastered all content and skills in a particular grade level or course, to
advance to the next level or course. These exams are available at no cost to
eligible students who test during the district’s testing periods.
Students are expected to complete each exam they have registered for,
therefore we ask you to be available during the testing window you have
selected. A letter will be mailed home approximately 3 weeks after application
due date for each testing period and the final schedule has been set.
Note: The District does not receive reimbursement for tests not taken.

Students will complete an application form and take a designated criterion
referenced test which covers the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills and major
learning for the course for which they wish credit. For all of its Examination for
Acceleration, the district uses tests developed by the University of Texas Extension,
Instruction, and Materials Center. For Grades 1-12, UT provides review sheets in a free
online printable format, available even before students are enrolled. Information can
be found online at UT Distance Education Center website
(http://www.utexas.edu/ce/k16/cbe-ea/about/). Students should contact the
campus counselor for applications and additional information.
