STAMP and Other WL-CBE Testing for Grades 9-12 only
NOTE: WL-CBE Testing for 8th Grade PPS students:
- If the student is in an DLI school, contact the PPS DLI Department for language testing options.
- If not in a DLI school, but the student is both bilingual and biliterate, they may benefit from taking a WL-CBE when they are in the 9th grade. They can contact their high school counselor to sign up for the WL-CBEs.
LITERACY REQUIREMENT: WL-CBEs exams are designed to test native speakers who are both bilingual and biliterate in the target language. A WL-CBE is not designed to be a placement test. Careful selection is important to ensure that students who take the test are both bilingual and biliterate.
