The Keystone Exams are end-of-course assessments designed to gauge proficiency in three subjects: Algebra I, Literature, and Biology. The Keystone Exams are one component of Uniontown Area High School’s system of graduation requirements. Keystone Exams will help the school guide students toward meeting state standards. Students will take the exam either in the winter or spring, based on course enrollment.
- Students enrolled in Algebra I (9) and Algebra I Essentials II will take the Algebra Keystone Exam during this school year.
- Students enrolled in Academic English 10 or Honors English 10 will take the Literature Keystone Exam during this school year.
- Students enrolled in Academic Biology 9, Academic Biology 10, VT Biology and Biology 11 will take the Biology Keystone Exam during this school year.
Additionally, students who did not score proficient during a previous exam will also have the opportunity retake the exam until the end of their 11th grade year.
Winter Keystone Exam Preparation:
As we prepare for the upcoming Winter Keystone Exams, we encourage all students to familiarize themselves with the online testing platform by using the Online Tools Training (OTTs). These resources provide practice with multiple-choice, technology-enhanced, and open-ended questions for each tested subject.
These tools are an excellent way to help students feel confident and prepared on test day.
