Nope. We do OAKs..passed those in freshie year.

I hate standardized testing.

Because Oregon is incredibly stupid, it's now required for the incoming class to pass all tests to get their diploma.

Okay, so standards are necessary, right?

But graduating with a modified diploma is considered dropping out.

That's right. Special ed. & ESL kids can't take OAKs tests.

They have modified diplomas.

Special ed. & ESL graduates will be considered drop-outs.

STAR testing? I cant say I've heard of it. I think the version in Canada are the P.A.T's. Provincial achievement tests,I have four this year. I did my social one last semester and managed to scrape 92% my other three are mid May to June ending. I am actually sort of excited to get them off my back.

They do that...can they actually do that. That is really unfair.

Oh! How interesting. ;o I'm from the US, I guess you can say STAR testing is pretty much standarize testing. It doesn't really do anything to us, though. I heard they make us take the test just to get money for the state, which is pretty weird. o_o That's so messed up with the diplomas for the spcial ed. & ESL graduates.
