ACP…Just the Facts
• ACP exams count as 5% of the student’s final grade in
grades 3-5.
• If a student is enrolled in a class or elective that
does not have an ACP written for it, they will be
tested with teacher-made final exams.
• Students have 90 minutes to complete test including
bubbling answers. Students who do not finish must
stop when time is called and turn in what they have
completed.
• ACP scores will be uploaded to Gradespeed and
Mydata

ACP…Surveys and Concerns
• Each teacher should complete the ACP feedback
survey.
• Teachers who wish to view the test to complete the
survey will need to check out a book to view during
campus scheduled viewing time.
• Teachers will not be allowed to leave the test room
with the test.

report Form”
