exit exams

Final qualifying assessments

Exit exams are standardized tests students must pass to graduate from high school or complete a degree program.

They're designed to ensure minimum competency before receiving a diploma: She failed the exit exam twice before finally passing.

Also called exit examinations.

The practice remains controversial, with critics arguing such tests don't accurately measure learning.
