Why Should I Test?
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!
Unlock the following classes by passing the Level 4 advancement test:

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 4 advancement test is being administered on the following dates:
- Tuesday, June 14th at 5pm

Scoring
Each skill is scored from 0 to 10 points. In order to advance, students must accumulate a minimum of 216 points out of 270 total points, this equates to an average score of 8 or better on each skill.
