Note to Parents:              
All 10th grade students must take the CST Life Science test, whether they are     
enrolled in a science course or not.  Those students taking biology, chemistry, physics or   
earth science must also take the end-of-course science test, scheduled for Day II of testing.
               
Only students enrolled in World History need to take the end-of-course exam scheduled for Day I
               
Because of the large amount of required testing in 10th grade, students may choose  
to spread their testing over three to four days, using the available make-up days as well.  
               
All tests for tenth grade are untimed.  We have followed the recommended time frames   
for completion of each test; however, from past experience we find many students use significantly 
less time than allotted, but may certainly use all or more time if needed.    
               
Please plan on returning to the test site 30-60 minutes before the last test of the day  
is scheduled to end just in case your child finishes early.        
Students opting for more than one or two days of testing leave at the lunch break,
and need to inform the school in advance of this choice.
