SAT:
The SAT is a benchmark college entrance assessment designed to test what students are learning in school today. The

knowledge. The SAT delivers insight to colleges on how a student thinks, communicates, and solves problems.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) Credential Exams: A credential is any industry
certification examination, licensure, or occupational competency assessment. The examinations verify industry standard
knowledge and/or skill sets that are taught as part of a secondary CTE program. Credential exams provide an
opportunity for students to achieve industry certification and licensure which serve as “stepping stones” for students’
progress in specific career pathways and/or post-secondary education, provide students an opportunity to demonstrate
competence in job-related skills and knowledge that are considered industry standard, offer an option for students to
achieve the CTE diploma seal upon graduation, and offer students an opportunity to earn student-selected verified
credit for graduation.
