Test Item Specifications
The Florida Department of Education and committees of experienced Florida educators developed and approved the specifications documents for Florida's End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments. Each specifications document defines the content and format of the assessment and the assessment's items for item writers and reviewers and indicates the alignment of items with the Florida Standards for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics assessments and the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) for the Science and Social Studies assessments. They also serve as a source of information for educators and the general public. To request a copy of the test item specifications for the assessments aligned to the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.), email Assessment@fldoe.org.
