The EOCT program was retired after the November 2014 Mid-Month administration. The Georgia Milestones Assessment System has replaced the EOCT beginning with the 2014-2015 school year.
The A Plus Education Reform Act of 2000, O.C.G.A. §20-2-281, mandated that the State Board of Education adopt End-of-Course assessments in grades nine through twelve for core subjects to be determined by the State Board of Education. The End-of-Course Testing (EOCT) program was comprised of eight content area assessments:
- English/Language Arts
- Ninth Grade Literature and Composition
- American Literature and Composition
- Mathematics
- Math I/Coordinate Algebra
- Math II/Analytic Geometry
- Science
- Biology
- Physical Science
- Social Studies
- U.S. History
- Economics
The EOCT was administered three times each school year in the fall, spring, and summer. Performance on the EOCT was described as a scale score and performance level as indicated below:
- Scores below 400 - Does Not Meet Expectations
- Scores from 400-449 - Meets Expectations
