The End-of-Course Examination Program (EOCEP) is a statewide test for four high school courses in South Carolina: Algebra 1, Biology 1, English 2, and U.S. History & the Constitution. Students currently enrolled in Algebra 1, Biology 1, English 2, and U.S. History are required to take an End-of-Course (EOC) exam, which will serve as their final exam for these courses. The EOCEP scores make up 20% of a student’s final grade in these classes. These tests are designed to reflect what students have been learning throughout the year and are based on South Carolina's academic standards. Parents can view those those standards here:
The South Carolina State Department of Education (SCSDE) provides state-level assessment information (including EOC) for parents. An EOC brochure is also provided. Parents may also request this information in an alternate format or in a language other than English. These links are provided below.
