Testing Season at Ballard High School

As the school year comes to a close, you will notice that a lot of students will be in an assigned location for testing. This is mainly because of advanced placement(AP) and Kentucky Summative Assessment(KSA). The KSA is a test all students have to take and will help improve school rankings. AP testing is for students who have chose to take a AP course and will be taking a class. During these tests, you may not have any electronic device on you and must remain silent until a proctor permits you to do otherwise. Once you finish your test, you may rest your head, doodle on scratch paper, or read a book. For many of these tests, there will be a 10 minute break in between sections of a test, and it is important that while in the hallway,you keep the noise level to a minimum. Make sure to have a drink and a snack for energy and nutrition. Also make sure to bring in a charged chrome book and take time to prepare and study beforehand. And most importantly make sure do to your best when testing!
