CAHSEE Intensive Options
updated 01/09/12
All 10th and 12th grade
CAHSEE Intensive students, and all 11th grade 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 10th and 12th grade
Intensive students, (those with internet access and those without),
and all 11th grade students who have not
yet passed the CAHSEE, 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 December, all 10th grade CAHSEE students must take the Diagnostic
Test 2. If a student scores
proficient on this test, they will not have to enroll in an approved CAHSEE Intensive
class or tutor for the spring semester. 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) for the spring semester. 10th grade students who score proficient on DPT 1
(in September) must still take DPT2. Attendance
will be tracked and monitored during the spring semester. Spring CAHSEE
Intensive students will take Diagnostic Test 3 prior CAHSEE as final practice
test. Growth between
Diagnostic tests will also be measured.
Attendance tracking will not take place during the fall semester
for 10th grade, but is mandatory for all 12th grade Intensive
Students. Although it is not required that 10th grade
Intensive students 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 10th graders who do not pass the DPT2 with proficiency
and 12th graders who do not pass the November CAHSEE.
