Biology 1 EOC

What do I need to know?

Public school students enrolled in Biology 1 must participate in the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) Biology 1 End-of-Course (EOC) Assessment. During the 2018-19 school year, students taking the Biology 1 EOC will have the opportunity to test during one of the following administrations throughout the year:

• September 10–28, 2018
• November 26–December 14, 2018
• May 1–29, 2019
• July 15–26, 2019

Your exact testing date within these windows will be determined by your district. Some districts may have specific rules/restrictions for each test administration.
