Extra Credit:

Test-Out Options Can Fill Course Credits Quickly

By Leslie Cranford, Section Manager

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in early spring 2020, students and families have been compelled to pivot, some multiple times, to continue with schooling. Switching from in-person to online more than a few times can exhaust even the most diligent scholars. Now more than ever, students may need education alternatives to reach their goals on their scheduled timeline. TTU K-12 Credit by Exams (CBEs) are a viable option for students who have mastered a subject.

"CBEs are a great way to test out of a subject to make room in your schedule for other classes, or get ahead," says Cari Moye, principal of TTU K-12. "They are also a great way to make up any credits along the way. Most students like the ability to gain credit in such a short amount of time, compared to the full course."

With TTU K-12 CBEs, counselors or teachers can recommend to students the option to test out of subjects they've already mastered. The fully online CBEs also feature 24/7 online proctoring, so students can test on their schedule, whenever they're ready, from wherever they are.

Teachers with entire classrooms, schools, and even districts can purchase bulk online or print-based CBEs for one student or hundreds. These cost-efficient solutions for schools can help students recover credits or accelerate academically. Convenient payment options just for schools make ordering a breeze!

• Print CBEs are $25 per exam. Schools must proctor these exams.
• Online CBEs are $70 per exam, which includes online proctoring allowing students to take the exam at their convenience.
