2023–24 B. E.S.T. Algebra 1 and Geometry End-of-Course Assessments Fact Sheet Florida B. E.S.T. EOC Assessments Overview Florida’s Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B. E.S.T. ) Standards for Mathematics were adopted by the State Board of Education on February 12, 2020. Beginning with the 2022–23 school year, Florida’s statewide, standardized end-of-course (EOC) assessments in Algebra 1 and Geometry are aligned to the B. E.S.T Standards. For a full schedule of Florida EOC assessments, see the 2023–2024 Statewide Assessment Schedule. Algebra 1 and Geometry EOC Assessments—Students to Be Tested All students enrolled in and completing one of the courses in Table 1 must participate in the appropriate assessment. Table 1. B.E.S.T.

Pre-AICE Mathematics 2 – 1209820 | In addition, the following students are eligible to participate in the B. E.S.T. EOC assessments: • Students who need to retake an assessment for graduation purposes. • Students who have not yet taken an assessment to be averaged as 30% of their course grades. • Students who are in grade forgiveness programs and wish to retake an assessment to improve their course grades. • Students who need to earn a passing score for a standard diploma with a Scholar designation (Geometry only) . • Students in a credit acceleration program (CAP) who wish to take the assessment to earn course credit. In accordance with section 1008.22(3)(b)2 ., Florida Statutes, middle grades students will not be tested on both a grade-level mathematics assessment and a mathematics EOC assessment. Middle grades students enrolled in Algebra 1 or Geometry must take the corresponding EOC assessment, not the grade-level mathematics assessment. Test Administration Information • Florida’s EOC assessments are delivered via a computer-based test (CBT) platform called the Test Delivery System (TDS) . • The B.E.S.T. Algebra 1 and Geometry EOC assessments are computer-adaptive and reported in the Florida Reporting System (FRS) as students complete testing. Because the assessments are computeradaptive, items may become progressively harder as students successfully respond to items and easier if students answer more questions incorrectly. • Paper-based versions (regular print, large print, braille, and one-item-per-page) of CBT assessments are provided for students with disabilities who cannot access assessments on the computer as specified in their Individual Educational Plans (IEP) or Section 504 Plans. • CBT accommodations (e.g., text-to-speech) are available for students whose IEPs or Section 504 Plans indicate these accommodations. • The Algebra 1 and Geometry EOC assessments are administered in one 160-minute session with a short break after the first 80 minutes. Any student not finished by the end of the 160-minute session may continue working for up to the length of a typical school day. • The Test Design Summary and Blueprint: FAST Mathematics and B.E.S.T. EOCs provides a map or blueprint for how each assessment is designed. The summaries show the possible number of items, item types, standards assessed within each reporting category, and the representation of each category, in percentages, on the test. • Students are provided CBT Work Folders for each session. • The Calculator and Reference Sheet Policies for Florida Statewide Assessments document provides more information regarding calculator and reference sheet policies for all assessments. Students have access to an online scientific calculator and reference sheet in TDS for both the Algebra 1 and the
