Part 2: Written Musicianship Exam (50%)

• Students will take the written portion of their final exam at their respective exam time.
• The written exam is a post-test of the All-State exam they took at the beginning of the year.
• Students will be assessed based on growth, not proficiency.
  • To give credit for growth, the student's grade will be scaled the amount of their improvement from pre-test to post-test.  For example, if a student scored a 50% on their pre-test and a 70% on their post-test then their final exam score would be a 90%.
  • The scale for students who were not present for the pre-test will be at the discretion of the director.​
