(2) The student shall have completed a course or test that shows equivalent competency to passing Algebra I.

(3) The student's parent shall be charged the cost of the test by the local school administrative unit.

(4) The student's parent, or other responsible adult designated by the parent, may be required by the local school administrative unit to serve as a proctor in order for the student to take the test, if the addition of the student would prevent the local school administrative unit from meeting the required proctor-student ratio for that test at that school.
