WHAT IS THE EOC?

The End of Course Assessment measures how well students have learned the Algebra standards.

Our state tests measures students' performance against a set of learning standards.

Graduation Requirements

WHAT DOES THE EOC LOOK LIKE?

The Algebra EOC consists of 37 questions. 29 multiple choice 5 completion 3 short-answer

Unlike the MSP, the EOC is a paper and pencil test. Students will be able to use calculators and any state provided handouts.

SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS
