The first Biology 1 EOC Assessment test administration occurred in spring 2012. The Florida Biology End of Course Assessment (Biology EOC) will be administered in early May of 2015.  \nThe Biology 1 EOC Assessment measures student achievement of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS), as outlined in the Biology 1 course description. Students throughout the state will participate in the assessment which will measure student achievement of the NGSSS, as outlined in the Biology 1 course description. To see the specific benchmarks in the Biology course, go to [http://www.cpalms.org/Courses/PublicPreviewCourse69.aspx](http://www.cpalms.org/Courses/PublicPreviewCourse69.aspx)  \nWho will take the test?  \nThe following students are eligible to participate in a Biology 1 EOC Assessment administration:  \n􀁸 Students who need to earn a passing score for a standard diploma with a scholar designation  \n􀁸 Students who have not yet taken the assessment to be averaged as 30% of their course grade  \n􀁸 Students who are in grade forgiveness programs and wish to retake the assessment to improve their course grade  \n􀁸 Students in a credit acceleration program (CAP) who wish to take the assessment to earn course credit  \nTest Administration Information  \nThe test is delivered via a computer-based test platform. The test has 60-66 multiple choice questions. Paper based versions (regular print and Braille) will be provided for students with disabilities who require allowable accommodations, as specified in their IEPs or Section 504 plans.  \nThe assessment is given in a 160-minute session with a 10-minute break after the first 80 minutes. Students may not be dismissed during the first 80 minutes; however, after the 10-minute break, they may be dismissed as they complete the test. Although the assessment is scheduled for a 160-minute session, any student not finished by the end of the 160 minutes may continue working.  \nTesting must be completed within the same school day.  \nThere will be multiple forms of the assessment with a maximum of 66 items on each test form. Approximately six to ten of these items are experimental (field test) items, and are not included in student scores. For more information, seethe test design summary on the Florida State Department of Education website.  \nA four function calculator is provided in the test platform. Students may request the use of an approved, hand-held four-function calculator after they participate in a practice test if they determine that they are not comfortable using the online calculator for testing.  \nA Periodic Table of the Elements is provided in the test platform. Students will be provided hard-copy work folders to use as scratch paper. These are secure materials that must be collected after testing and stored or securely destroyed according to the district assessment coordinators’ instruction.  \nWhat is tested on the Biology EOC?  \nBy category, the percentages of each of the three categories tested are:  \nThe Biology benchmarks mandated by the state are located at:  \n[http://www.cpalms.org/Courses/PublicPreviewCourse69.aspx](http://www.cpalms.org/Courses/PublicPreviewCourse69.aspx)  \nNot all standards listed are tested. The tested standards are listed in the Content Focus report. (link below)  \nThe “Content Focus” report for Biology tells you the benchmarks that are tested within the categories (above) and the possible number of questions for that benchmark.  \nThe Department of Education’s “Content Focus” can be found at:  \n[http://fcat.fldoe.org/eoc/pdf/Biology1ContentFocus2014.pdf](http://fcat.fldoe.org/eoc/pdf/Biology1ContentFocus2014.pdf)  \nFor additional information, the Biology End Of Course Test Item Specifications are located at:  \n[http://fca","cbCaicVqCesXMm0w","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicVqCesXMm0w","pdf",169809,"English","# Biology 1 EOC Assessment Overview\n## Who will take the test?\n## Test Administration Information\n## What is tested on the Biology EOC?\n## Scoring\n## Sample Benchmark questions","[{\"question\":\"Who is eligible to participate in the Biology 1 EOC Assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Students may participate if they need a passing score for a standard diploma with scholar designation, need the assessment for their 30% course grade averaging, are in grade forgiveness programs to retake for grade improvement, or are in credit acceleration programs to earn course credit.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the Biology EOC delivered and what testing rules apply?\",\"answer\":\"The test is delivered via a computer-based platform with 60–66 multiple-choice questions.
