[quote=Anonymous]I think the participation only requirements only applied to the students who would've taken the Algebra course during the pandemic.  And they're starting to phase in being required to pass the tests or meet through another way.

The school will likely keep on having your student take the test until they meet the math requirement.

But there will eventually be other ways for your student to meet the requirement too.  ie if they score a 3 or higher in the AP exams or 5 or higher with the IB.

If it comes down to it, if the student still didn't meet the requirements by the time they graduate, the school system will ask for a waiver for the student.  But that's only after the school made every effort for the student to meet the requirements.  ie have them go through classes going over the subject again, retaking the test at every opportunity, etc.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.  The main concern or issue is that the score might be used against them if they want to try to get into a higher level math course.  Also I'm not sure how much the test score correlates with your student's grade.  As others mentioned, if they didn't do well in Algebra overall, that might be a concern. [/quote]
