History End-of-Course (EOC) Assessment is a statewide, computer-based, criterion-referenced test that measures the Florida academic standards for the U.S. History course, as outlined in the course description. It is taken by students enrolled in that course, typically in high school, and is used to gauge mastery of the standards rather than to compare students against one another. Because it is criterion-referenced, performance is judged against the standards themselves; the Florida Department of Education publishes U.S. History Achievement Level Descriptions and U.S. History Reporting Category Statements that describe what each level of performance means. Topics on this exam: U.S. History. The Florida U.S. History EOC study guide has 1 section and about 512 words.
