This manual is available upon request by contacting the WVDE HSE Coordinator.
3.1.a. Students who are court-ordered to take the HSE test and Option Pathway students who are enrolled in the MJCP are required to participate in an approved HSE practice test as determined by the WVDE. An AE instructor, Option Pathway teacher, or a MJCP staff member shall provide the necessary enrichment services to assist students in being better prepared for the HSE test.
3.1.a.1. Students who have a court order that specifically states they do not have to take the HSE practice test are permitted to take the HSE test without being required to take the approved HSE practice test.

A current, valid, original (not photocopy) government-issued photo identification (ID), such as a driver's license, military ID, or passport, which contains the individual's full name, photograph, and signature, must be presented to the HSE test administrator during the check-in process and must be present during all testing sessions. Students who do not have a valid photo ID on the day of testing shall not be allowed to take the HSE test.
3.2.a. Option Pathway or WVSDT juvenile residential students may use the WVDE-approved alternate photo ID as outlined in the West Virginia HSE Test Administrator's Manual.
3.2.b. Students participating in a WVSDT residential or government program, e.g., Job Corps, students may use the facility-issued photo ID, providing it includes the student's legal name, date of birth, signature, and a legible photo.
