Yes. Sophomores who don't plan on attending four-year universities should be permitted to take these exams in the tenth grade so they can pursue the education or job training they desire.

Maybe. Schools should be careful not to push this choice on students. Teachers and counselors should work closely with students interested in this track to ensure that they are ready for such a transition.

No. Pushing some students toward early enrollment in two-year or technical colleges while continuing to prepare others for four-year universities creates an unlevel playing field for students.

Should students be encouraged to graduate after tenth grade?
Kids should not just only be encourage to graduate after the tenth grade, they should be encourage from the time they are old enough to go to school. It should not be encouraged it should be demanded by parents or guardians.
I have three children who are now all grown up. I always spoke to them about going to college after high school. There were no if you graduate from high school. That was always understood. I would not have put up with my child not dropping out and that I would have still financially supported him or her or keep them under my roof.
The only way would have been if the the child were incapacitated. All parents should demand that children continue their education beyond high school.
