Second Attempt Policy

Can a student take a second attempt if they do not pass a credit by exam the first time?

Yes, with the following restrictions:

Texas Administrative Code states that students:

  • may not attempt to test out of a course more than two times and
  • may not attempt a test twice during the same assessment window

The 25-26 School Year CSISD testing windows are :  

Fall: November 1 - December 10 (Students testing in this window cannot attempt the second attempt until the Winter window).

Winter: February 1 - March 13 (Students testing in this window cannot attempt the second attempt until the Spring window).

Spring: April 1 - May 17 (Students testing in this window cannot attempt the second attempt until the Summer window).

Summer: July 1 - July 22 (Students testing in this window cannot attempt the second attempt until the Fall window).

**Please note: If testing is conducted during the Summer testing window, there will not be an opportunity to complete a second attempt, if necessary, before school starts.
 

  • The cost of a second attempt is not covered by the district.
  • University of Texas High School and Texas Tech University ISD offer second attempt versions of their exams.
  • You must have CSISD (counselor or district) approval for a second attempt to ensure credit will be awarded.  Please do not order the test until you have received approval from CSISD.
    • During the school year the sign off will come from your students counselor.  
    • During the summer it will be done by our district office.  Please email the application to cbe@csisd.org for approval during this time.
  • All second attempt tests must be completed within the CSISD approved testing window and the official results should be emailed to your child’s counselor for their records.
