About the Tests

In 2006-2007 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math.
The EOG tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.

The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
