ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT
The Missouri Assessment Program assesses students’ progress toward mastery of the Show-Me Standards which are the educational standards in Missouri. The Missouri Assessment Program includes required End-of-Course assessments in the subject areas of Algebra I, Biology, English II and Government. End-of-Course assessments are taken when a student has received instruction on the course-level expectations for an assessment, regardless of grade level. For spring 2011, all EOC required assessments (English II, Algebra I, Biology, and Government) are available in both the online and paper/pencil formats.
Who takes the EOC Assessments?
Students in Missouri, including Missouri Option Program students, are required to take the Algebra I, Biology, English II and Government assessments. A few groups of students may be exempt from certain End-of-Course assessments. These include, but are not limited to:
- Students whose IEP teams have determined that the MAP-A is the appropriate assessment do not have to take End-of-Course assessments.
- English Language Learners (ELL) who have been in the United States 12 months or fewer at the time of administration may be exempted from taking the English II and/or English I assessments.
- Foreign exchange students are allowed, but are not required to take the assessments. This is a district decision.
- Homeschooled students may take part in the assessment at the local district's discretion.
- Private school students are not required to take the End-of-Course assessments.
What kinds of questions are on the test?
For all End-of-Course assessments, all questions are comprised of multiple choice items. These items are composed of selected response questions developed specifically for Missouri.
Are the EOC Assessments available in languages other than English?
No. All Missouri End-of-Course assessments are available only in English. A list of accommodations for English Language Learner students can be found here:
