The Austin Independent School District encourages all students who need to retest, or students who still need to pass a portion of the Exit Level TAKS tests to earn a high school diploma, to register for retesting on October 18-21, 2011. All testing will be held at campuses throughout the school district. Students may also register at their home campus on the day of testing. 

Students should report to the main office of the campus of their choice on the day the test is being administered by 8:30 a.m., and must bring a photo ID and two #2 pencils. Testers are also required to bring their Social Security number, and must provide information regarding their home district and campus name. Students should note that the use of cell phones and other personal electronic devices during testing is NOT permitted; they should be prepared to surrender their cell phones and other electronic devices to the test administrator while the TAKS is in process.

TAKS tests will be administered on the following dates:

Tuesday, October 18:
English Language Arts

Wednesday, October 19:
Mathematics

Thursday, October 20:
