As a firm believer in equal opportunities, not equal outcomes:
- the test being given for "skip" should be the same end-of-year test given for the grade level,
- the score allowing one to "skip" should be the same score allowing one to "pass" to the next grade level at end-of-year,
- the score which allows "skip" and end-of-year "pass" should be transparently available to all,
- students sitting for the "skip" test should have the same level of advance awareness of what is to be on the exam, as typical students are provided for the end-of-year exam,
- students sitting for the "skip" test should be provided the same advance access to any in-school test prep and/or test practice that typical students are provided for the end-of-year test,
- the skipped student should have the same access to remediation of any deficit or weakness that typical students or credit recovery students are offered.
