CAHSEE Intensive Options

updated 08/08/12

All 10^th , 11^th and 12^th grade CAHSEE Intensive students who have not yet passed the CAHSEE must sign up for eKnowledge and take the Diagnostic Tests (online or paper/pencil) by assigned due dates.  After taking the test, students are to print their “Personal Prescriptive Path” which will list the standards and Early Level Measuring Up lessons that they need to work on.  It will also provide a projected proficiency level based on the student’s total score.  Students who do not have online access can take a paper- pencil test. The ES will log on as the student after the student has completed the paper version and enter the student’s answers. The ES will then print (or PDF) a copy of the Personal Prescriptive Path to provide to the student and tutor. To request a copy of the paper test and answer document, email the school office. A PDF copy will be emailed to the ES. ES should have the students write on only the 2-page answer document to recycle the test for use with other students. 

All 10^th , 11^th and 12^th grade Intensive students, (those with internet access and those without) must be enrolled in eKnowledge via GEA courses in the fall. All students will then receive the Early Level Measuring Up Student Workbook and either eKnowledge online access or hard-copy Diagnostic Tests.  By ordering in bulk, we are saving money, and ES will not have to order individual student textbooks.

In the fall all CAHSEE Intensive students must take the Diagnostic Placement Test (DPT) according to the Paperwork Timetable.  If a student scores proficient on this test, they will not have to enroll in an approved CAHSEE Intensive class or tutor, and they are not required to complete any further DPT assessments. Students who do not take the Diagnostic Tests, or who do not score proficient, will have to enroll in an approved CAHSEE Intensive class or tutoring (see below). Attendance will be tracked and monitored during the corresponding semester.

Attendance tracking will take place during the fall semester for 10^th grade students who score Below Basic and Far Below Basic on their DPT 1 Assessment, and is also mandatory for all 11^th and 12^th grade Intensive Students who do not score proficient on the DPT 1 Assessment.  Although it is not required that 10^th grade students scoring Basic enroll in a CAHSEE Intensive course or receive weekly tutoring during the fall, it is highly recommended that they use available resources to help them prepare for passing the exam. Spring attendance will be mandatory for 10^th graders who do not pass the DPT2 with proficiency and 11^th and 12^th graders who do not take or pass the November CAHSEE.
