English II EOC

This page is our resource guide to get prepped for the test!

What to expect:

1. Seven passages (1 poem, 4 informational, two fictional) with an average passage length of 5 pages.

2. 45 multiple choice, 3 constructed response, and 5 technology enhanced questions.

3. Is completely online.

4. Some multiple choice questions are discreet - meaning they do not directly relate to the text.

Short Response Questions:

The short constructed response items on the English II EOC assessment require a brief response of approximately 3-4 sentences. Scorers only review for the specific criteria as stated in the question. Additional information not required in the answer does not increase the student’s score. Short constructed responses are not scored for elaboration, support, or detail. Students should not write an essay for short constructed response items, and they must not be led to believe longer responses may receive higher scores. The key is to answer the question with the specified supporting evidence.
