Test Out

The application window for summer 2025 test out closes on May 23.

In accordance with the Michigan Merit Curriculum Law 380.1278(a)(4)(c), Haslett High School will grant credit to students who earn a qualifying score of no less than 78% on a “test-out” assessment developed by the particular curricular department for a Michigan Merit Curriculum course.  In accordance with Michigan Law 380.1279(b), the Haslett School Board will also grant credit to students who are not enrolled in a course but who exhibit mastery of the subject matter of the course by attaining a grade of not less than 78% on a final exam or by exhibiting that mastery through the basic assessment used in the course which may consist of a portfolio, paper, project, or presentation as developed by the particular department for a Michigan Merit curriculum course.  This credit,  expressed as an “I” for “tested out for credit,” will be recorded on the student’s high school transcript and will be counted toward high school credit.

Note that by “testing out” of a course, a student will miss participation in discussions, classroom activities, and other opportunities to develop the skills that are nurtured by daily contact with the teacher and fellow students. Testing out requires that you put in the necessary time and effort to study and learn the content material. Last summer, approximately 15% of the tests attempted were successful. If you have questions, please contact your counselor or the Associate Principal.

Dates: Sign up via the online Test Out Application by May 23. Test out will be August 5 and 7.  
Testing Location: All tests will be given in person at Haslett High School.

Test out procedure

1. Completely fill out an online Test Out Application and select a test date. Parent/guardian approval for testing out is required. Late applications will not be accepted. Incomplete applications will not be processed. The link is ONLY accessible using a student's Haslett Email account.  A parent/guardian cannot send an email to sign up.

2. Students who apply for test out will be sent a Google Classroom code via email to access the test out material. This code will be sent out in early June.

3. Students who need to borrow a course textbook(s), please indicate on your application for which course you will need a textbook(s). Textbooks may be picked up from the High School Media Center on June 3, 4, and 5 by 3pm.

4. Take the test that you signed up for on the date you chose.

  • Test results will be sent to you within two weeks. (If your test out has a required essay or other written portion, results may take longer.)
  • Written portions of the test that are to be done outside of the test out time MUST be completed before you will be allowed to take the test. 
  • If you pass the test, you will need to contact your counselor to make any necessary schedule changes.
  • You cannot test out unless you have a completed online application.
  • Late applications will not be accepted.
