IMPORTANT TESTING INFORMATION
1. Testing will be held at your regular class times – we try to stay within each classes time frame, however with large
classes we may run a few minutes over, we appreciate your patience if this does occur.
2. Perfect attendance is required before testing. Students will be allowed to test if they have 1 or 2 absences, if the
absences are paid and the “make-up” classes are attended before the semester ends. Students with 3 or more
absences will not be allowed to test this session but should still plan on attending class. Speak to your instructor or
class assistant for more information on make-ups. Make-ups cannot be done on testing night due to time constraints.
3. All students are required to attend class on testing day; however, they are NOT required to test. Students who do
not want to test will participate in a practice test.
4. The fee for testing is $12.00 plus the regular class fee. If you have prepaid the entire semester you will be charged
$12.00 for testing. On testing night, students will individually check in with the class assistant or instructor.
5. Belts are NOT sold; they are earned by students! Belts are free to students when they pass the test.
6. Spectators are not allowed to watch during testing. The students are nervous enough without an audience.
Furthermore, we need a quiet atmosphere for the testing. We appreciate your understanding and support!
7. Testing day/night may run a little longer than a normal class, we appreciate your patience!
8. Students are always encouraged to practice outside of class, but if they have attended class regularly, they should be
adequately prepared for the testing!
9. Do not call the office or the instructor to see if a student passed. Certificates and awards will be presented on Awards
Night, which will be held after Winter Break. Information on the ceremony will be provided the day of testing.
Remember that ALL students having perfect attendance will receive a certificate.
10. Students are increasing in rank exactly as they should be if they advance one rank at a time. Some students will skip
ranks if the instructor thinks that they are ready.
