Required Work

Evaluation

Students are evaluated in two ways: online tests and pledges.

• Online tests - There are 18 Chapter tests, 4 Unit tests, one Crossroads test, and either a Vocabulary or What Would You Do? Test. The questions are a combination of multiple choice and matching questions. Because the online tests are graded automatically, the student receives near-instantaneous feedback. Note: Paper tests are available instead of online tests, but because of the associated overhead -- like postage costs -- the online tests are recommended.
• Pledges - Pledges are also available online. They consist of statements that the student has completed certain activities and agrees to uphold certain safe driving behaviors. Note: Pledges are currently under construction and not yet available.

Grading

Each question from the tests is weighed equally. The grading scale is as follows: A: 90-100, B: 80-89, C: 70-79, D=60-69. The pledges are not graded, though they must all be completed in order for the student to finish the course. The student must not receive help on any of the tests. If the student is taking the tests online, a code word will be provided to signify this. If the student is taking paper tests, an adult of at least 21 years of age must sign each test. The student may receive assistance on the pledges -- discussion of the material is recommended. See the Enrollment page or contact our office for more information.
