Cambridge Scores for Spring 2024 Testing Series

University High Cambridge students will be able to access their scores on Wednesday, August 14th. Students should refer to the "Confidential Examination Results Information" (pink flyer) that they received in one of the Cambridge classes in May 2024 for score retrieval information. If a student needs an additional copy of their log-in credentials then they should stop by the Cambridge office (room 4-307) during the first week of school or email wmlastow@volusia.k12.fl.us from their VCS account to request a copy.

Cambridge scores from "a" to "e" are passing scores. "Ungraded" or "U" represents a non-passing score. Exam retake options will be shared with Cambridge AICE participants pursuing the Cambridge AICE diploma if necessary. Please recall that Volusia County Schools only pays the exam fees for first-time exam takers. Students / parents must pay the cost of any retake exam before a student will be registered for the test.

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 9^th grade.

CAMBRIDGE SCORES

Cambridge scores for the spring 2023 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.
