AHSGE

Alabama High School Graduation Exam

To qualify for a diploma, students must meet the test requirements of the AHSGE. There are five sections of the AHSGE:

  • Reading
  • Math
  • Biology
  • Language
  • Social Studies

 

The AHSGE is given four times a year. However, not all students will participate in the administration of the AHSGE each time it is given. A calendar and detailed explanation of the students allowed to test is given below.

Tutoring

Tutoring sessions are generally held three weeks before each testing administration. The tutoring sessions are held before school and after school or morning and afternoon during the summer. Specific dates and places are posted and announced.
