WHO TAKES EOC BIOLOGY Page 1 WHO MUST TAKE THE END OF COURSE BIOLOGY TEST • All New Jersey public high school students, regardless of grade level, (grades 9-R12 and AH) who are enrolled in a biology course for the first time during the current school year, must take the End of Course Biology Test. The following course titles are included as exemplars: • Resource Center Biology • ESL Biology • General Biology • Life Science • Foundations in Biology • College Prep Biology • Honors Biology • Accelerated Biology • Advanced Placement Biology (see below) • Integrated Science (see below) The additional criteria for participation in the End of Course Biology Test must be followed: • Students taking AP Biology without having completed a Biology prerequisite must take the End of Course Biology Test. • Students taking AP Biology after completing a Biology prerequisite must not take the End of Course Biology Test. • Students taking Integrated Science as an alternative to the biology offerings listed above must take the End of Course Biology Test. • Students taking Integrated Science as a prerequisite course for a Biology elective must not take the End of Course Biology Test. These students will take the End of Course Biology Test during the school year that they are enrolled in a Biology elective. • Students who have already taken the End of Course Biology test may not take the test again. Retest options will become available when the test becomes a requirement for graduation. • Returning students are not permitted to take the End of Course Biology Test. • Commencing with the May 2010 EOC Biology Test, adult high schools, the Department of Corrections, the Juvenile Justice Commission, and the Department of Children & Families facilities must participate if they have any eligible students. Districts are encouraged to align their biology course offerings with the New Jersey High School Biology/Life Science Syllabus. The syllabus can be downloaded from the NJDOE web site at: www.state.nj.us/education/aps/cccs/science
