Dates Assessment Duration September 10 28, 2018 Biology 1, Civics, History 160 minutes Winter 2018. Dates Assessment Duration November 26 December 14, 2018 Biology 1, Civics, History 160 minutes For the Biology 1, Civics, and History End-of-Course (EOC) Assessment administrations, any student not finished by the end of the 160-minute test session may continue working; however, testing must be completed within the same school day. Since the testing windows allow for multiple test sessions to be scheduled throughout the designated weeks, it is possible to reassign absent students to an existing session in PearsonAccess Next scheduled later in the week rather than creating new sessions for make-up days.

2 While paper-based accommodations may be administered throughout the entire window, FDOE will establish pickup dates by which materials must be returned to ensure that results are provided during initial reporting. Any deviation from this schedule requires written approval from the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) prior to implementation.
