North Carolina End-of-Grade Tests (EOGs):
Information about the North Carolina End-of-Grade Assessments:
- The North Carolina READY End-of-Grade (EOG) Assessments are curriculum-based achievement tests in the areas of English Language Arts (ELA)/Reading and Mathematics at grades 3–8 and Science at grades 5 and 8. The ELA/Reading and Mathematics assessments are aligned to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study (NCSCS), while the Science assessments are aligned to the North Carolina Essential Standards. Students take the EOG assessments during the last 10 days of the school year.
- The estimated test administration time allotted for each EOG is 180 minutes. However, students who need more than the estimated time to complete the test may be allowed an additional 60 minutes to work. As long as students are engaged and working and the maximum time of 240 minutes has not been reached, they must be given time to complete the assessments.
- The EOG assessments contain a small portion of experimental (field test) items, which do not count toward or against a student’s score. These items are used for multiple purposes, including, but not limited to, linking between curriculum cycles, examining across grade performance, and examining items for inclusion on future operational assessments. These items are indistinguishable from operational items and should not interfere with the students’ test-taking experience.
- The EOG ELA/Reading assessments are administered at grades 3–8.
- All test questions are multiple-choice. Students read authentic selections and then answer questions related to the selections. The reading selections are comprised of literary and informational selections based on the NCSCS.
- Knowledge of vocabulary is assessed indirectly through application and understanding of terms within the context of the selection and questions.
- The assessments at grades 3–5 contain 52 total test items.
- For the 2018-2019 school year, the students will take the pencil and paper version of the test.
- The EOG Mathematics assessments at grades 3 and 4 consist of multiple-choice questions.
- The Mathematics assessments in grades 3–8 consist of two parts: calculator inactive and calculator active.
- Students are not allowed to use calculators during the calculator inactive part of the test. Students are allowed to use calculators during the calculator active part of the test.
- The assessments at grades 3 and 4 contain 54 total items (27 calculator inactive, 27 calculator active)
- For the 2018-2019 school year, the students will take the online version of the test.
- Online Assessments Online assessments are presented through a secure platform. All test items are formatted specifically for online presentation and presented on the screen one test item at a time.
