Users of WebXam may have noticed a recent schedule change on the calendar which moved the last day for field-testing to April 27, 2018. This is due to changes in the graduation requirements, specifically Option 2 for CTE student graduation, and in the graduation dates for many high schools. CETE staff needs time to finalize the forms, and thus we recommended to the ODE Office of CTE that we move up the deadline. The deadline for CETE to post rescored field tests aligned with performance standards is now May 11, 2018. The last day for giving regular posttests remains June 1.
