EOCT

End of Course Tests The State of Georgia mandates the administration of an End Of Course Test (EOCT) in eight core subjects.

Each EOCT is aligned with the state adopted curriculum. Any student enrolled in and/or receiving credit for an EOCT course, regardless of grade level, will be required to take the EOCT upon completion of that course.  The student's final grade in the course will be calculated using the course grade as 85% and the EOCT score as 15% of the final grade. The student must have a final course grade of 70 or higher to pass the course and to earn credit toward graduation.
