Other Information

Students will have to make an appointment in Student Services to take this test. It should take no more than one class period.

Once the students begin the test, they will have 1 hour.  NOTE:  Experience is it will easily fit into class periods and students will not require an entire hour.   They will not be able to restart,  pause or use the back arrow; doing so will knock them out of the test. Also, during the test if the student signs out of the site or closes the browser the test will terminate without an opportunity to continue.

Student answers will be final and they will not be able to change them once them move on to the next question. Failure to answer the essay question will disqualify them from being considered for a scholarship. This is not an open book test and students are not allowed to use outside resources to take this test. I have attached a promotional flyer for your use. 

I will email out test results and student ranking upon request.  Our Americanism and Government Scholarship committee determines the scholarship recipients based on test score and essay answer.
