The EOC exams for Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 are designed to measure students’ understanding of Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 concepts aligned to the Hawai‘i Common Core Standards. The Algebra 1 course includes emphasis on linear functions, system of equations/inequalities, and quadratic functions. The Algebra 2 course covers statistics and both linear and nonlinear functions. Topics covered include (but are not limited to) linear, exponential, quadratic, rational, polynomial, and absolute value functions.
The Biology EOC is based on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for the life sciences in high school. The standards reflect current research and best practices in science teaching and learning to prepare students to think critically, analyze information and solve complex problems—the skills needed to be scientifically literate and to pursue future opportunities. The NGSS emphasizes three distinct, yet equally important dimensions that help students learn science—the fundamental scientific knowledge, the practices scientists and engineers use to explain the world or solve problems, and scientific thinking across disciplines.
