Georgia High School Graduation Test
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Georgia High School Graduation Test, or GHSGT, administered to all students in the eleventh grade, determines whether or not a student will graduate from a Georgia(USA) public high school.
The test consists of five subject areas:
Students are expected to pass all five tests to graduate, but they are allowed to retake a test if they fail. A student may retake the test as many times as needed, until they make a passing score.
The test is scored from 400 - 600, with 600 being a perfect score. Students must receive 500 points in order to pass (this applies to every exam). A higher score will result in a "pass plus" as follows
Pass Pass Plus
Mathematics 500 535 Science 500* 531* Social Studies 500 526
Teachers usually review for these tests prior to the administration Many resources are available for students and teachers to prepare for the GHGT. State information on testing, and test guides may be found at Georgia Department of Education - Testing
Many students consider the exam to be something of a mockery of their abilities; several recent forms of the mathematics test have asked: "What shape is a basketball?"
