GRAD Reading Test Retakes
Student's must successfully complete their GRAD requirements in Reading, Math and Writing to recieve a Minnesota public high school diploma.  The GRAD requirement started with this year's 11th grade class. 

The GRAD Reading test was administered to this year's juniors as part of their spring MCA-II in Reading.  Students who met or exceeded standard on the MCA-II, or who received a score of 50 or higher on the tests GRAD items have completed this requirement.  Students who did not take the MCA-II in Reading last spring or who did not pass the GRAD requirement will have multiple opportunities to retake the test. 

Notices with testing details will be sent  for students who still need to complete this requirement. Retesting is done on the computer.  District 622 will offer GRAD retakes monthly starting in October 2008.  Students may retake the GRAD six-weeks after recieving their prior GRAD result.  The retests are offered during a window.
