Abstract
Minimum competency testing has become both a political and an educational issue in many states. However, its impact on handicapped students for high school graduation has not been adequately examined. This article reports on a survey conducted of states involved in minimum competency testing activities. Data concerning the policies of these states regarding testing requirements, techniques of testing handicapped students, and provisions for remediation of handicapped students who fail competency tests are reported and discussed and particular areas of concern are delineated.
