Testing season runs on a schedule.
WebXam is the state test for each Career-Tech course. Passing feeds graduation seals and can earn college credit. Here is the schedule and the plan.
Feb pre-tests · Mar testing window · May post-tests · Jun results letter home
Study the published blueprint. It tells you what the test covers and how much each domain weighs.
Study cards and review packets come from class before each window. About 30 minutes a day during testing season.
Missing it the first time is one step in a season that has several. Retakes come with a targeted review plan.

- 04June
Results letter and next-year plan go home to families.
Almost everyone walks into the first pre-test sure they are behind. That is what the pre-test is for, and there is a whole season between it and the real thing.
You
Passing adds points toward Ohio graduation seals and can earn college credit. It is the pathway's version of an AP exam.
John Hay
Every course you pass is another John Hay student leaving with a credential the state recognizes. That is what this pathway is for.
Ohio
WebXam is how the state knows Career-Tech students leave with real technical knowledge. Your own score stays private; what the state publishes is how the program did overall.

Questions families ask
The state end-of-course test for each Career-Tech class. Passing counts toward Ohio graduation seals and can earn college credit. Think of it as the pathway's version of an AP exam.
65% or higher. Students who fall short get a retake plan with targeted review; not passing the first try is a setback, not a verdict.
Attendance is the strongest predictor we see, plus about 30 minutes of review a day during testing season. Ask your student to show you their study cards.
Ask for your study cards before the window opens.

Drop your WebXam submission in the OneDrive folder, or hand it to Mr. Mendoza in class. Both count. Sign in with your Microsoft (district) account, not a personal one. Nothing is turned in on Schoology: that is where the report-card grade shows up later.
Name the file exactly like this, with two underscores between the name and the title:
Lastname_Firstname__Assignment Title.pdfTwo underscores between the name and the title. Do not put your student ID in the file name: your district sign-in already tells me it is you. A file named any other way is not lost. It waits in a review folder until it is sorted by hand, so it is graded later.
Your receipt. Your own upload panel says Uploaded, with a green check beside the file name. That is your receipt. Screenshot it if you want a record of your own. Do not wait for the file to appear in a list. You should not be able to see anyone else's work in there. If you can see other students' files, stop and tell Mr. Mendoza.
