Credit by Exam (CBE) Testing

  • Credit by Exam (CBE) Testing

    Aledo ISD will provide Credit by Examination (CBE) without prior instruction for the purpose of course acceleration provided the following criteria have been met:

    • Students must be enrolled in Aledo ISD to be eligible for CBEs
    • Parent/Guardian must obtain the registration information from the campus counselor and submit the completed form by the scheduled registration deadline - late registration is not available
    • Student may not have attempted CBE more than twice in the same subject
    • Student must have passed and received scores from previous course to schedule the next course (IE: pass Math 7A/7B before registering to take Math 8A/8B)
    • Only exams administered by the District will be considered for credit


    Testing is offered at no cost to the student. However, failure to report for testing session(s) will result in the parent reimbursing Aledo ISD for the cost of the exam(s). Testing is conducted in 3-hour sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Students are limited to one exam per session.
