Ok, so as some of you may or may not know, over here in California, all high school students are required to take a test in order to graduate. This test is called the California High School Exit Exam (CHSEE). Well, there was recently a law that was passed that allowed all high school Seniors not to take the test. Ok, imagine this senarion.

You are a Freshmen(meat), and you need to take that test. Well, you do but you fail it.

Onto next year...

You are a Sophmore and you are required to take the test again... and you still don't pass.

Moving on...

You are now a Junior, and you yet again have to take that darned test. Oh, but guess what, you still don't pass it!

Now... onto your last year of high school...

You did it, you are now a Senior, the highest grade level in high school. But what ho? Half of the school year has already passed by and you haven't been called to take the test again, why? Well because of that law that was just passed, you are no longer required to take the CHSEE.

But wait... you have taken the test 3, count 'em 3 times, and you no longer have to take the test anymore.

It specificly said that Seniors are no longer required to take the test in order to graduate. Well then they might as well get rid of the test if that's the case.

That kinda sounds like Year 11 GCSE's in the UK, only we have to take them and we can leave school once we had our grades Smile

Most states have those tests. If you cant pass it then you cant graduate unless you have written permission by your guidance or administrative dept.'s respectively. Honestly, those tests are THE easiest things ever, and thats in all due respect. But, I do believe that they are unjust. If you can pass 12 years of schooling without a problem, a simple.....and yes I mean simple.....test shouldn't keep you from graduating. If anything, they should just use it as another college placement test, oh well, just take the ASVAB and join the military Smile works for me.

Ours is called the "FCAT", Florida's Comprehensive Assessment Test...

During the Freshmen year it was a practice test, the last three years it's for real. You had three chances to take and pass it, if you pass it you don't have to take it again. Luckily, I passed the silly thing the first time during my Sophomore year (I'm a senior now)... It's really easy, the only way you can fail it is if you just don't care, or if you're really that dumb.

Well here in Canada we have nothing of the sort. Only a grade 10 literacy test to see if you can read and write...It's not something I would call difficult... Laughing

FINALLY! Someone from Florida to share my pain!!! Razz

I'm a sophomore now, and I absolutely HATE the FCAT. It's an easy test, it's just that they make you spend so much time "practicing" for it, you don't get ahead in the classes.

I say keep the test, but don't prepare for it. The preparations themselves are gay and useless.

I don't take offense. I just have a little laugh. Though I am sure those tests do have some reasoning behind them.

I received my results in the summer from my freshman(meat) year. 99 on math, 98 on reading.

The test is easy. That's why it's such a waste of time.
