What Are Florida’s End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments?

Florida offers six End-of-Course (EOC) assessments.

EOC Math subjects are assessed against Florida Standards and are considered Florida Standards Assessments (FSAs). There are three FSA EOC assessments:

• FSA EOC Algebra 1
• FSA EOC Algebra 2
• FSA EOC Geometry

EOC Science and Social Science subjects are assessed against the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS).

There is one EOC Science assessment:

• NGSSS EOC Biology 1

There are two EOC Social Science assessments:

• NGSSS EOC U.S. History
• NGSSS EOC Civics

Note that NGSSS Algebra 1 Retake EOC assessments are still available to students who participated in the course prior to fall 2014 and who need to pass the course to attain a Florida high school diploma.

How Long Are EOC Assessments?

All EOC assessments are computer-based tests. If a student does not finish any of the FSA or NGSSS EOC assessments within the designated times for the exams, he or she may continue to work on the assessment. The extra time given amounts to up to half the length of a typical school day.

• NGSSS EOC assessments (Biology 1, U.S. History, and Civics) are administered in a single 160-minute session.
• FSA EOC assessments (Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry) are administered in two 90-minute sessions across two days.

For information regarding upcoming test dates, scores, and assessment rubrics, check out our FSA FAQ page.
