The end-of-course assessments are administered at the completion of the course, regardless of grade level. These measures serve as the final exam for the course and contribute 20% 10% to the student’s final course grade. Each school district selects a local testing window, based on their local school calendar, from within the state-designated testing window. Middle school students enrolled in one or more of these courses are required to take the associated end-of-course (EOC) measure. If enrolled in an ELA, mathematics and/or science EOC course, these middle school students will not take the corresponding content area end-of-grade (EOG) measure.
