Credit By Exam

Credit by exam (CBE) is one method for students to demonstrate proficiency in grade level or course content. The Texas Education Code (TEC), §28.023, allows students to either accelerate a grade level or earn credit for a course based on credit by examination.

Credit-by-examination assessments (CBEs) must be approved by each local board of trustees for their district. CBEs are administered by the district or test provider in accordance with local district policy. Scores are reported directly to the school district and/or student.

School districts are required to administer each exam approved by the board of trustees no fewer than four times each year. One window to test must be provided during each quarter, unless the exam selected by the district has a different administration schedule. The testing window must be designed to meet the needs of all students.
