Student Guide to Graduation
To receive a Texas high school diploma, you must complete all the necessary coursework for graduation and pass all parts of the exit level Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (also called TAKS). The exit level TAKS includes four subject areas: English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. The test is based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, or TEKS, which is the curriculum that your teachers use every day in the classroom. The first time you will take the exit level TAKS is in the spring of your 11th-grade year. If you pass all parts of the test on your first try, you will have fulfilled your testing requirement for graduation. However, if you do not pass one or more subject-area tests, you will have several opportunities to retake those tests.
