California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE)
The CAHSEE is a pass/fail test consisting of two parts – English Language Arts and Mathematics. The English section covers California’s content standards through 10th grade in a multiple-choice format with one essay. The math section, completely multiple-choice, covers math standards through 6th and 7th grade and Algebra 1. Students must pass both sections of the exam in order to graduate. The first time it is given to students is the spring of the sophomore year. If they do not pass the test, they have the chance to take it again the junior year. If students pass one section of the test, they do not take that section again. The test is untimed and is administered over two days.
For additional information about the CAHSEE go to the FUHSD CAHSEE website or to the California Department of Education's CAHSEE website.
