American College Test (ACT)
The ACT includes testing in the areas of Math, Science, Reading and English. Scale scores range from 1 (low) to 36 (high) for each of the four tests and for the Composite. The Composite score is the average of the four test scores, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Advanced Placement Test (AP)
Advanced Placement classes are college-level classes offered at the high school campus. Advanced Placement is a national program administered by the College Board. Many colleges and universities around the nation award credit based on scores from the AP Exams.

Criterion Referenced Tests (CRT)
The Core Criterion Referenced Tests (CRTs) are administered at the end of each school year to help assess how well students have mastered the standards and objectives set forth in the State of Utah Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science core curricula.   Student achievement is reported as the percent of students reaching “proficient” by earning a Level 3 or Level 4 performance on the Core CRT.

Utah Basic Skills Competency Test (UBSCT)
The Utah Basic Skills Competency Test is a state-legislated high school competency test.  Students who pass the UBSCT will have a designation indicating such on their high school diploma.  The first administration of the UBSCT is February during the students’ 10th grade year.  A proficiency score of 3 or 4 is required to pass each section.  Students who did not pass all three sections  (Math, Reading, and Writing) will be provided with four additional opportunities in which to pass the three parts of the UBSCT.
