EOC End of Course Exam (eoc) Algebra I has an EOC at the end of the year. The EOC will drive everything that we do throughout the year. The students will be exposed to EOC-type questions throughout the year and will learn all of the material necessary to excel on the test. The EOC will be representative of how well the students have mastered the material. According to the state rules, if the students do not pass the EOC, they cannot pass Algebra I and will have to retake the course during the summer. The EOC is a big deal and should not be taken lightly.
