Cambridge
Additional Assessment Information
- Testing accommodations listed on an IEP or 504 plan are provided on all Cambridge assessments.
- Testing locations are yet to be determined. Testing locations will be shared once they are finalized.
- Students that have Cambridge assessments scheduled for the same day and time will take both assessments in a designated testing conflict room.
- Cambridge assessments take priority over all other assessments (both state and Advanced Placement). Alternate testing dates will be scheduled for students that have this type of testing conflict. Alternate testing dates do not exist for Cambridge assessments.
- Chemistry – The test dates for AICE Chemistry’s Paper 1 and Paper 3 (lab practical) are scheduled beyond the last day of classes for students. Students enrolled in this course are responsible for taking these assessments. Component retesting is not an option for any Cambridge assessment therefore all assessment papers must be completed in the same testing series.

PRE-AICE COURSES
Pre-AICE courses on the University High campus are honors level and weighted on the 4.5 grading scale. These courses are typically more rigorous than traditional honors courses because they provide a variety of opportunities for students to develop writing and higher-level thinking skills in addition to a deeper exploration of the subject. Pre-AICE courses provide a foundation of content and skills that will increase a student's chance of greater success in upper-level advanced courses. These courses are not restricted to our Cambridge AICE Participants and do not lead to the Cambridge AICE diploma. Any student that meets the academic prerequisites for a given Pre-AICE course is recommended to be scheduled for that course. This is also true for most of our upper-level AICE courses that are offered beyond 9th grade.
CAMBRIDGE SCORES
Cambridge scores for the spring 2024 testing series are now available. Students should use the login and password that they were given last semester to access the Cambridge score retrieval service. This information was printed on a green flyer and distributed by one of their Cambridge teachers. If a student cannot locate their login credentials, then they should email Mr. Lastowski at wmlastow@volusia.k12.fl.us to request a copy of their score report. Score reports will be emailed to the student (or parent/guardian) in the order in which the request was received within two school days. I thank you in advance for your patience during the active start of the school year.
Grades of “a – e” are passing grades. “UNGRADED” and “X” are non-passing grades. Information regarding exam retakes will be shared with students and parents during the week of August 21st.
Cambridge AICE Participants (AICE diploma seekers) have different ways of earning Cambridge credits for the AICE diploma as a results of our increase in course offerings. Students should email Mr. Lastowski at wmlastow@volusia.k12.fl.us or schedule a meeting to discuss various options. m
