About: Testing Options: Mod-HSA

The Modified HSAs - or Mod-HSAs - is an alternative for students with disabilities who are able to make progress toward grade-level standards. The Mod-HSAs, which are available in the four HSA content areas, are based on the same course content as the HSAs, but the question format may be altered.

  • The Mod-HSA+ option is available for a student with an IEP who has received course credit but has failed the related HSA at least once and whose participation is approved by the IEP team.

The Mod-HSAs are administered at the same time as the HSAs. Students with disabilities who pass the Mod-HSA are eligible to earn a Maryland High School Diploma.

To find out whether your child is eligible to take the Mod-HSAs, contact his or her IEP team.
