The Biology EOC
•
•
•
•
The Biology 1 EOC assessment is delivered via computer-based test.
The assessment is given in one 160 session with a 10 minute break after the first 80
minutes. Any student not finished by the end of the 160 minutes may continue working but,
the test must be completed within the same school day.
There are multiple forms of the assessment. There is a maximum of 66 multiple-choice items
on each test form.
Students are provided with four-page, hard-copy work folders to use as scratch paper. Used
folders are secure materials that must be turned in after testing.
Biology EOC Study Guide
This Study Guide was developed by Volusia County teachers to help our students prepare for the Florida
Biology End-Of-Course Exam. The Florida EOC is broken down by the following Measurement Topics (MT)….
