Georgia Milestones EOC - The A+ Educational Reform Act of 2000,O.C.G.A. §20-2-281, mandates that the State Board of Education adopt end-of-course assessments for core courses to be determined by the Board. The EOCs serve as a student's final exam in the associated course. With educator input, and State Board approval, the End-of-Course Assessment program is therefore comprised of the following content area assessments:

• Math (Coordinate Algebra)
• Social Studies (United States History)
• Science (Biology and Physical Science)
• English Language Arts (American Literature and Composition)
