Students Who Haven't Passed the CAHSEE
What if Students Don't Pass the CAHSEE?
The California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) is a graduation requirement for all public school students. Eligible students with disabilities are exempt. All students take the CAHSEE for the first time in grade ten. This allows students enough time for preparation and multiple chances to pass the exam before they graduate.
Additional Opportunities
Students who do not pass one or both parts of the CAHSEE in grade ten will have additional opportunities to take the part(s) they have not previously passed. Students who have passed one part of the CAHSEE will not have to retake that part. Grade eleven students may take the CAHSEE up to two times per school year for the part(s) of the exam not previously passed. Grade twelve students may take the CAHSEE at least three times but not more than five times during the 2014–2015 school year.
If your child did not pass one or both parts of the CAHSEE, the school will automatically register your child to take the next administration of the CAHSEE until he or she has passed both parts. It is important that your child attends school on test days.
