STUDENTS GET 6 CHANCES DURING SUMMER
TO “TEST OUT OF CLASSES”
The state’s education law, the Texas Administrative Code (TAC), will allow Wharton ISD public school students to obtain credit in a course or grade level by passing tests approved by school district trustees.  Texas law, 19 TAC Chapter74, allows students to “test out of a course” by taking a “Credit by Examination” without prior instruction in the course(s) being tested. To earn credit for a grade or a subject, the student must answer 80% of the questions correctly. In accordance with local school district policy, a student in any of Grades 6-12 may be given credit for an academic subject in which he or she had some prior instruction if the student scores 70% on the test. The tests are rigorous, targeting all the objectives for the courses covered.

There are no fees or costs to take the tests. However, parents must provide transportation to Region 3 ESC, 1905 Leary Lane, Victoria, TX 77901.
