Attention Students and Parents,
As you know Physical Science is a course that is required for graduation. All students who are enrolled in this course must take an End of Course Test (EOCT). Beginning with the 2004-2005 school year, a student’s EOCT score is averaged in as 15% of the final course grade. The student must have a final course grade of 70 or above to pass the course and earn credit toward graduation. The EOCT is also one criterion for a student to receive a variance for the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT).
To better prepare them for the test I have attached a copy of the study guide so that they can prepare for the EOCT Test that we will take the week of April 26th. Also, I have posted a copy of the Released 2004 version on our class web page. Students are to complete 3 to 5 questions in this packet daily as well as visit the USA test prep website: http://www.usatestprep.com/front/login.php?next=%2Fstates%2Fstates.php) student ID : hughesga (all lower case letters) password: newton67 by completing various activities (i.e. vocabulary builder, tutorial games, practice test) etc. to sharpen their skills. You can also download a copy of the study guide at the Georgia Department of Education website: http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/ci_testing.aspx?PageReq=CI_TESTING_EOCT) for your child to practice in as well. When downloading please make sure you download the GPS version for both Parts A and B.
Parents please make sure your child completes each tutorial session via the USA prep test website as well as 3 to 5 questions in their test packet as the time for the EOCT is readily approaching. This will ensure your child’s success on the EOCT.
If you would like any additional information on how you can help your child prepare for the End of Course Tests please contact your child’s counselor at 770-306-7620.
