Passing a test unlocks additional classes (listed below). Failing a test reveals strengths and weaknesses, so you’ll know what you need to work on. Also, it’s FUN!

How to Test
Open your ZenPlanner app and register for the test the same way you would for normal classes. Then just show up as you normally would for a class.
The Level 3 advancement test is being administered on the following dates:
- Saturday, January 20th at 3pm

Scoring
Each skill is scored from 0 to 10 points. In order to advance, students must accumulate a minimum of 144 points out of 180 total points, this equates to an average score of 8 or better on each skill.
