Important EOC Information
- EOCEP Requirements for Calculator Use: Beginning with the fall/winter 2020–21 administration, the online calculator tool built into the EOCEP test engine will be the Desmos calculator. Using this Desmos calculator tool is recommended when taking the EOCEP Algebra 1 and Biology 1 assessments to reduce security risks and the burden on test administrators to clear memories on hand-held calculators before and after testing. Desmos can be accessed for free at www.desmos.com and used by students during daily instruction. This calculator includes a “slider.” Students should know that they will not have access to the “sliders” when taking the EOCEP Algebra 1 and Biology 1 assessments.
- Online Calculators: Students taking the Algebra 1 and Biology 1 tests will have access to both the Desmos scientific and graphing calculators.
- Hand-held Calculators: Students may use a scientific calculator or one of the graphing calculators listed below during the Algebra 1 and Biology 1 test after following the “Procedures for Using Hand-held Calculators” below. A graphing calculator most closely matches the functionality of the online Desmos tool.
- Allowed hand-held graphing calculators (No other calculator may be used.):
- Texas Instruments: TI-73, TI-83 series (all), TI-84 series (all)
- Casio: FX-9750GII, FX-9860GII (S), fx-CG10 PRIZM EOCEP Fall/Winter 2020–2021—Online Test Administration Manual 20 SCDE Policies SCDE Policies
- TI-Nspire, TI-Nspire CX, TI-Nspire with Touchpad (These three calculators will be permanently removed from the list of approved calculators after the 2020–21 school year.
- During testing, all students are prohibited from using the testing device to create, store, or transmit by any means documents or images.
