About the Test
The End of Course (EOC) exams are summative in nature. The goal of the EOCs is to evaluate student learning at the end of the course and compare it against the course standards that were taught.
Testing Windows
The administration windows for the tests are listed in the table below. The state has provided the district with broad testing windows. To find out when your child will take his/her assessment, please contact your child’s school.

Preparing for the Test
You can access paper-based and computer-based practice tests by going to the Florida Statewide Assessment Students & Families page.
Student Results
For BEST Algebra, BEST Geometry, and FCLE, you can access a child's test results within 24 hours through the Pasco Parent Portal. If you have an existing Pasco Parent Portal account, you should log in through http://www.pasco.k12.fl.us/parents. Then scroll down select myStudent under the School/Classroom Resources section.
To access basic information, click on your child’s picture/first name on the left-hand side of the screen. Then choose Test History. A list of the tests that your child has taken will appear. To view the results of a test, click on the light gray arrow to the right of the name of the test. Basic testing information will appear.
To access additional information from the state portal, click on the Portal icon in the top left-hand corner. Then click on the Florida Statewide Assessments icon that appears to the right of the Reports tab. Scores will be reported in the state Family Portal within 24 hours from the time the assessment was completed. Additional information, such as a simple Individual Student Report including a longitudinal chart, will be available in the Family Portal shortly after the test is taken.
Interpreting Your Child's Results
When you log into the Florida Statewide Assessments portal and access your child's results, you will notice that there are three icons in the top right-hand corner; Glossary, Guide, and Resources. Click on the Guide icon. You will find a resource that will take you step-by-step through your child's report. Information explaining your child's test results can be found by clicking below:
