Grades 6+ Testing

  • Secondary grades can follow a schedule similar to grades 3–5 if class periods last longer than an hour (such as 90-minute blocks). For each subject, you could use the regular class period to conduct testing relevant to that subject.
  • Alternatively, for shorter class periods (45 minutes or less), you may need to switch to an alternating schedule with longer class periods to allow for adequate testing time (up to 60 minutes needed).
