8. Alternative Pathways Don’t worry. There are other ways to win this battle.

9. Alternative Pathways If you attend the CTC as a Junior and Senior you can earn up to 12 points on Industry Credential and Workforce Readiness tests (in addition to the minimum 14 cumulative points earned in core area tests). You can take a nationally recognized college entrance exam (possibly the ACT) as a junior (state pays the fee) and earn remediation free scores in English/Language Arts and Math. ACT ELA – 18 Math - 22

10. Alternative Pathways College Credit Plus (Formerly “Post-Secondary Option”) Enroll in and pass valid college courses in required testing areas and receive points (1-5) based on the final grade in the course. A or B = 5 C = 4 D = 3* F = 0 * D’s will not transfer nor award college credit in some cases.
