French, German, Japanese and Spanish test out opportunities will be offered through the Avant STAMP 4S, an online, computer-adaptive test that measures language proficiency in Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
Students must review the Test Taker Guide and take a STAMP 4S Practice Test prior to the test date. Students must bring a charged device (i.e. chromebook) and headphones to the test session. Students must complete the Technology Check on the device they will use prior to test day. The test may last 3-4 hours depending on the individual student. This test will begin at 1:00pm and students will be excused from their Advisory course the day of the Test Out. They will continue the test after school the day of the Test Out.
Students receiving a score of Novice Mid will receive 1 credit in the testing language.
Students receiving a score of Novice High will receive 2 credits in the testing language.
Students receiving a score of Intermediate Low will receive 3 credits in the testing language.
Students receiving a score of Intermediate Mid will receive 4 credits in the testing language.
Students may choose to enroll in the next level of world language based on their score. They may not enroll in courses in a lower level after passing a test out (for example, if a student receives a score of Intermediate Low in Japanese, they may not enroll in Japanese 3 or below because they will have already received that credit).
Students scoring Intermediate Mid or above may request to enroll in the AP/IB SL2 level of the world language for the following school year.
