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. Students taking the Biology 1 EOC will have the opportunity to test during one of the following administrations throughout the year:

• Tentative: July 13-24, 2020

• November 30–December 18, 2020

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