Secondary TCAP Assessments Proficiency Levels

Students who started high school in 2001-2002 or later must score Proficient or Advanced on all three Gateway tests to receive a diploma. The following tables show the scores needed to meet the Proficient and Advanced Levels on the Gateway and End of Course examinations. The scores are the total number of questions marked correctly out of the core items. Field test questions are embedded within the test. Students may retake the Gateway tests if needed.
