Full course description
Credit by Exam Description
The Kindergarten Mathematics Credit by Exam (CBE) is designed to test your proficiency of grade level standards related to (1) Number and Operations; (2) Algebraic Reasoning; (3) Geometry and Measurement; (4) Data Analysis; and (5) Personal Financial Literacy.
Each CBE exam is designed in alignment with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) which define the skills and content to be taught in each course and grade level in the state of Texas. The University of Texas at Austin High School District complies with Texas’ credit by exam policy 19 TAC §74.24 Credit by Exams (b-c).
K-2 Exams ONLY
Online proctoring is not available for K-2 subjects because the exams may allow oral administration by the proctor which is not a function provided through the Proctorio online exam system. Students taking CBEs for K-2 subjects will need to make arrangements to take the exam on-site at their local school district or an approved university testing center as detailed in the UTHS Credit by Exam Proctor Manual.

Download & Review the Study Guide Before Testing
The bulleted lists and sample questions in the study guide can assist you in preparing for the exam. If your exam includes verbal or written responses or a student portfolio submission, the grading rubric will be available in the study guide. While this resource is a complete guide for studying, it does not cover every item on the test. Ultimately, you should use the TEKS to guide your exam preparation.
Online Proctored Exams
All course exams, including both summative assessments and the final exam, must be completed online. Students must test online with Proctorio and are required to add the Proctorio extension to either their Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome browser—installation instructions are provided in the student's course. Proctorio uses a student's computer, web camera, and microphone to record video of both the student and their desktop during the exam. Then, UTHS instructors review the student's exam video data collected by Proctorio. Only authorized UTHS staff and instructors can view the exam recordings. Student data is not shared with any persons or organizations outside of UTHS and are deleted after one year. We encourage you to visit Proctorio's Data Security and Privacy site pages to learn more about how we protect student data.
