[quote=Anonymous]If passing the Algebra MCAP ever becomes a requirement, there are often other pathways to fulfill the requirement.  ie for other tests there were the following possibilities:

-meeting a combined score option.  Where if the student failed the Algebra test but met a certain combined score with the Algebra and English 10 test then they can be considered meeting the MCAP requirement

-for the HSAs they used to have a Bridge plan which students can do to meet the requirement if they failed.  I THINK there is still something like that now but it's not the same as before.  But it's still called the Bridge Plan

-they can take substitute tests to meet the requirement.  I think the Algebra 2 MCAP or AP exams

and if worse comes to worse, school systems can require a waiver for a student.

I think it's very rare for students not graduate due to state assessment requirements.

But they very least need to have taken the test to qualify for some of the other methods.  And I'm not sure what will change.  For example as the other poster mentioned Life Sciences now counts towards the final grade and am not sure if they'll eventually look to do that with the other tests.[/quote]
