Hmm... I am not exactly sure what to say other than to ask questions to the school board. I know there has to be some way to exempt the test on that day (I thought the make up dates are two weeks after). I wonder if it is possible to take it early (I highly doubt that).

As for absences, I know our school board excuses absences from robotics trips since they consider them "field trips." Try to see if you can approach it from that angle, so the absences do not count against you. I already asked my professors ahead of time, and they say that they will not count me absent on days of competition. Plus I asked for the make up work.

There are alternatives, just keep looking for them. And good luck.
