Parents,
This week all Civics students will be taking the MYA (Civics Mid Year Assessment). This will
not count as a grade but as a diagnostic tool to prepare students for the EOC. The Civics EOC
exam will be administered to all seventh grade students. This is a mandated exam through the
Florida Department of Education/Bureau of K-12 Student Assessment.
Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, EOC performance will constitute 30% of the student’s
final course grade. The method for applying this requirement will be determined and applied by
the school district.
It is imperative that you encourage your child to prepare for this exam. We will be reviewing
sample tests in class. Please make sure your child is studying at home. In addition students
should be reviewing Words of the Day and the list of tested benchmarks included with most
assignments. I have listed several websites that can help your child prepare for the Civics EOC.
Please take the time to review the information included in these sites. You will find:
o sample tests
o sample test questions
o sample test questions with answers explanations and accompanying benchmarks
o vocabulary and concept review cards.
