This site guides students through the testing experience, including testing tools and navigation, but can only be access using Google Chrome. Students taking the EOC this month will receive email from Mrs. Myers with the testing schedule and link to the online training tools. Students must bring their chromebooks (fully charged) to testing. We have a limted number of chromebooks available. Students who participate in the BYOD and have chromebooks in repair will be given priority of the loaners we have available. We wish all students good luck on their exams.

To meet federal regulations, English 1 EOCEP requires a new student writing component in addition to multiple-choice writing items. Students will take the Writing (TDA) portion of their English 1 EOCEP exam on May 16th. The TDA (text dependent analysis) is composed of a reading passage and writing prompt relating to that specific text. The prompt requires that students analyze the text and write an essay to provide supporting evidence from the passage. Sample TDA passages along with South Carolina student responses, which were scored using the SC EOCEP TDA Scoring Guidelines, are now available online. Please click on the image and go to Test Tutorials to access these questions on the SC State Department of Education. Students can also access EOCEP online training tools on https://wbte.drcedirect.com/SC/portals/sc, which will only work using Google Chrome.
Students will need to bring their fully charged chromebook to EOC testing since we have a limited number of loaner chromebooks available for EOC testing.
