CBEs - Receiving Materials Students will receive confirmation by mail. Review sheets are available on our website (www.k12.ttu.edu). Students do not have to order textbooks to study for a CBE, since CBEs are not tied to specific textbooks. If they wish to refer to a book, they can use any Texas state-adopted textbook. CBE review sheets are not comprehensive and do not cover all the material in the tests. We recommend that students do not download review sheets more than 30 days prior to taking their examinations to ensure they receive the most current versions possible.
Courses - Grade Reports and Transcripts • Students must pass final exam to pass the course, regardless of assignment grades. • Allow enough time for the course to be recorded before requesting a grade report. • Counselors will receive a monthly report on the students’ progress. • Final grades will be mailed to the student and to the school.
