END-OF-COURSE TESTS (EOCT)END-OF-COURSE TESTS (EOCT)
The A+ Educational Reform Act of 2000, O.C.G.A. §20-2- 281,
mandates End-of-Course assessments in grades nine through twelve for
some core subjects. End-of-Course Test scores are calculated as part of a
student’s final numeric grade in a course. The End-of-Course Test
requirement is also applicable to courses taken on-line and other off
campus course options approved by school counselors. This information
is subject to change based on state legislation and/or Georgia Department
of Education rules/policies.
End-of-Course Tests will be administered near the end of the course
sequence and will be calculated as 20% of the final grade. End-of-Course
Testing is required in each of the following eight courses. Any student
enrolled in any Dual Enrollment program must also complete the EOCT
requirement listed below to receive high school course credit.

PSATPSAT
The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is
a program cosponsored by the College Board and
National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). It's a standardized test that
provides firsthand practice for the SAT. It also gives you a chance to enter NMSC
scholarship programs and gain access to college and career planning tools.
The PSAT/NMSQT measures:
1. Critical reading skills
2. Math problem-solving skills
3. Writing skills
 You have developed these skills over many years, both in and out of school.
This
test doesn't require you to recall specific facts from your classes.
1. The most common reasons for taking the PSAT/NMSQT are to:
2. Receive feedback on your strengths and weaknesses on skills necessary for
college study. You can then focus your preparation on those areas that could
most benefit from additional study or practice.
 See how your performance on an admissions test might compare with that of
others applying to college.
 Enter the competition for scholarships from NMSC (Grade 11).
 Help prepare for the SAT. You can become familiar with the kinds of questions
and the exact directions you will see on the SAT.
1. Receive information from colleges when you check "yes" to Student Search

ACT INFOMATIONACT INFOMATION
What is the ACT?
The ACT is a national college admissions examination that consists of subject area
tests in:
English Mathematics Reading Science
The ACT Plus Writing includes the four subject area tests plus a 30-minute Writing
Test.
ACT results are accepted by all four-year colleges and universities in the U.S.
The ACT includes 215 multiple-choice questions and takes approximately 3 hours
and 30 minutes to complete, including a short break (or just over four hours if you are
taking the ACT Plus Writing). Actual testing time is 2 hours and 55 minutes (plus 30
minutes if you are taking the ACT Plus Writing).
The ACT is administered on six test dates within the US, US territories, Puerto Rico,
and Canada. In other locations, the ACT is administered on five test dates.
The basic registration fee includes score reports for up to four college choices, if you
list valid codes when you register.
When should I test?
Pick a test date that is at least two months ahead of the application deadlines of all the
colleges and scholarship agencies you might want to apply to. Scores for the ACT (No
Writing) are normally reported within 2–8 weeks after the test date. If you take the
ACT Plus Writing, scores will be reported only after all of your scores are available,
including Writing, normally within 5–8 weeks after the test date.
ACT INFORMATIONACT INFORMATION
Advantages to testing in your junior year:
You've probably completed the coursework corresponding to the test material.
You'll have your test scores and other information in time to help you plan your senior year.
Colleges will know of your interests and have your scores in time to contact you during the
summer before your senior year, when many of them are sending information about
admissions, course placement, scholarships, and special programs to prospective students.
You'll have information about yourself and the schools you're considering prior to your
campus visits, making your visits more focused.
You'll have the opportunity to retest if you feel your scores don't accurately reflect your
abilities in the areas tested.
The ACT helps colleges find you.
By taking the ACT, you make yourself visible to colleges and scholarship
agencies, so it's another way to help you get ready for life after high school.
Your ACT score is based only on what you know.
The ACT is the only national college admission test based on the number of
correct answers—you are not penalized for guessing.
You choose which scores you send to colleges.
When you register for the ACT, you can choose up to four colleges to which ACT will send
your scores as part of the basic fee for your test option. If you take the test more than once, you
choose which test date results the colleges will receive. ACT sends scores only for the test date
you select.

How Do I Decide?How Do I Decide?
1. Determine your GPA/ College Entrance Exam Scores
2. Go to GACollege411 , click on College Planning, click on Explore Postsecondary Schools
3. Put in the college you are interested in or do a college search
4. When you get to the college page , click on admissions.
5. On that page you will find freshman requirements and statistics that will enable you to
compare your credentials with the schools requirements.
6. Schools will be considered:
Out of Reach - No chance of getting in
Stretch – Slight chance of getting in
Within reach – Possible/Probable chance of getting in (sometimes a
school will be within reach, but so many people applying
makes it competitive)
In the pocket – Get the application in on time.
7. One should ALWAYS include an application to an “in the pocket” school as a fallback if
that is not the first choice.
Also you can use this procedure as a freshman or sophomore to determine what you must do
to be able to apply to the school of your choice.
U.S. News and World ReportU.S. News and World Report
 The 2015 edition of Best Colleges includes data on nearly 1,800 schools nationwide to help parents and
students evaluate their options. Eligible schools are ranked on up to 16 measures of academic excellence.
Outcome-related measures, such as graduation and retention rates, account for 30 percent of the rankings
and are the most heavily weighted factors in the methodology.
 New this year, U.S. News has published campus crime and security information reported by schools to the
U.S. Department of Education to make it more accessible to parents and students. These Clery Act data –
which most colleges are mandated to report annually and which include criminal offenses on campus and
in off-campus properties used by students – are not factored into the rankings, but are available on each
school’s profile page.
 For the first time, each school’s profile page features three-year federal loan default rates, as published by
the U.S. Department of Education, which can be used as a guide for how a school’s recent graduates have
been able to handle their loan payments. For families expecting tuition bills in the future, the new U.S.
News 529 Finder offers the ability to compare, research and select the best tax-advantaged college savings
plans.

Why does a High School Student need a Resume?
A resume is a proactive communication piece, through which the applicant can “control
the narrative” and organize one’s activities and accomplishments based on common
themes. This approach is more effective in getting across one’s unique competencies
than just offering a laundry list of activities on a form. When you apply for a job, you
don’t just fill out an employment application; you provide a resume as well, so you can
say what you want to say, in the way you want to say it.
Guidance department input. If the guidance counselor asks for a “brag sheet,” even
with an activities form, the student can include a resume in the package as well. The
resume will help the guidance counselor understand more clearly what the student is all
about, and may even pick up on some of the communication themes to use as
“ammunition” in the counselor recommendation.
Summer jobs. The summer between junior and senior year is the ideal opportunity to
explore areas of interest that the student is considering studying in college. For example,
a student interested in medicine might seek a volunteer position at a hospital.
College Interviews. Many colleges do admissions or alum interviews. The interview
policy varies by school. Some require or encourage admissions interviews (i.e., Carnegie
Mellon, U Rochester, Wake Forest, Hamilton), while some require or encourage
interviews with alums (i.e., Brown, Georgetown, Princeton, and Colgate). Some do not
offer interviews at all. Some interviews are evaluative, some are informational, but
are always a good idea . Just as an adult jobseeker would never walk into an interview
without a resume, nor should you as a student.

  • 19. PSATPSAT The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a program cosponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). It's a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT. It also gives you a chance to enter NMSC scholarship programs and gain access to college and career planning tools. The PSAT/NMSQT measures: 1. Critical reading skills 2. Math problem-solving skills 3. Writing skills  You have developed these skills over many years, both in and out of school. This test doesn't require you to recall specific facts from your classes. 1. The most common reasons for taking the PSAT/NMSQT are to: 2. Receive feedback on your strengths and weaknesses on skills necessary for college study. You can then focus your preparation on those areas that could most benefit from additional study or practice.  See how your performance on an admissions test might compare with that of others applying to college.  Enter the competition for scholarships from NMSC (Grade 11).  Help prepare for the SAT. You can become familiar with the kinds of questions and the exact directions you will see on the SAT. 1. Receive information from colleges when you check "yes" to Student Search

Actual testing time is 2 hours and 55 minutes (plus 30 minutes if you are taking the ACT Plus Writing). The ACT is administered on six test dates within the US, US territories, Puerto Rico, and Canada.

  • 23. ACT INFORMATIONACT INFORMATION Advantages to testing in your junior year: You've probably completed the coursework corresponding to the test material. You'll have your test scores and other information in time to help you plan your senior year. Colleges will know of your interests and have your scores in time to contact you during the summer before your senior year, when many of them are sending information about admissions, course placement, scholarships, and special programs to prospective students. You'll have information about yourself and the schools you're considering prior to your campus visits, making your visits more focused. You'll have the opportunity to retest if you feel your scores don't accurately reflect your abilities in the areas tested. The ACT helps colleges find you. By taking the ACT, you make yourself visible to colleges and scholarship agencies, so it's another way to help you get ready for life after high school. Your ACT score is based only on what you know. The ACT is the only national college admission test based on the number of correct answers—you are not penalized for guessing. You choose which scores you send to colleges. When you register for the ACT, you can choose up to four colleges to which ACT will send your scores as part of the basic fee for your test option. If you take the test more than once, you choose which test date results the colleges will receive. ACT sends scores only for the test date you select.

  • 48. Why does a High School Student need a Resume? A resume is a proactive communication piece, through which the applicant can “control the narrative” and organize one’s activities and accomplishments based on common themes. This approach is more effective in getting across one’s unique competencies than just offering a laundry list of activities on a form. When you apply for a job, you don’t just fill out an employment application; you provide a resume as well, so you can say what you want to say, in the way you want to say it. Guidance department input. If the guidance counselor asks for a “brag sheet,” even with an activities form, the student can include a resume in the package as well. The resume will help the guidance counselor understand more clearly what the student is all about, and may even pick up on some of the communication themes to use as “ammunition” in the counselor recommendation. Summer jobs. The summer between junior and senior year is the ideal opportunity to explore areas of interest that the student is considering studying in college. For example, a student interested in medicine might seek a volunteer position at a hospital. College Interviews. Many colleges do admissions or alum interviews. The interview policy varies by school. Some require or encourage admissions interviews (i.e., Carnegie Mellon, U Rochester, Wake Forest, Hamilton), while some require or encourage interviews with alums (i.e., Brown, Georgetown, Princeton, and Colgate). Some do not offer interviews at all. Some interviews are evaluative, some are informational, but are always a good idea . Just as an adult jobseeker would never walk into an interview without a resume, nor should you as a student.
