KEYBOARDING PROFICIENCY TEST INFO
Keyboarding Proficiency Testing Guidelines for Newark Catholic
Students will have the opportunity to pass a proficiency test of keyboarding skill to become exempt from taking the class. This test will be open to all students planning to graduate from Newark Catholic who have not yet received their Keyboarding credit. There will not be a grade assigned to the test - a student will either pass or not pass. Newark Catholic will waive the Keyboarding requirement for those students who demonstrate adequate skills. No grade will appear on the student's report card or transcript and the test will have no effect on the student's G.P.A.
