This 3 month program helps students pass the Math portion of the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE). Beginning in the 2005-2006 school year, no student will receive a public high school diploma without having passed the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE), as well as having met the district's requirements for graduation.

Upon enrollment, the student must create an account. Once the account is submitted, access to the course will be given within 48 hours. The student will then be given an assessment (totally online). Immediately following the online assessment, results will be displayed and the course will be customized to meet the needs of the student. The student will have 90 days from the date access is granted. (CA Program Overview for Exit Exam)
