What additional testing opportunities are available for students who previously failed a high school MCAS STE test?
(new) A. Students may participate in one of the four STE tests (Biology, Chemistry, Introductory Physics, and Technology/Engineering) in June in the same content area in which they first tested. (For example, grade 10 students who failed the Biology test they took in the ninth grade may participate in the Biology test the following year, regardless of the STE course in which they are currently enrolled.) In addition, students may participate in the February Biology test, according to the participation guidelines stated in the Principal’s Administration Manual beginning on page 15. Alternatively, students who previously failed an STE test may take a test in a different subject that may correspond to their current–year course enrollment.
