This community has members from everywhere around the world. If you are going to write about something so specific, at least describe what they are, what kind of questions they involve, etc. so everybody without exception can have the impression that they can participate in this thread as well.

On my EOG booklet, I had this one question on calculator inactive, and this is basically what it was; "A single cell organism is magnified 1,500 times its actual size. The magnified image has a width of .36 cm. What is the actual width of the organism?
A: .54 cm x 10 to the fifth power
B: .54 cm x 10 to the sixth power
C: .24 cm x 10 to the negative third power
D: .24 cm x 10 to the negative fourth power"

But you seem to be talking about a test that is restricted to North Carolina, from what a Google search has shown me. "Other test" is absolutely vague, do you want me to talk about the exam I had at university in Penal Law I ?

I know ;(
Damn New York and your Regents!

Also, you should rename it to something along the lines of "Tests and Stuff...?" Because, I think there are only like ten people who will actually know what the EOG and EOC are, and thus will probably ignore the topic. I mean, not EVERYONE is from North Carolina, silly.

When you first have to take the EOCs for classes in high school (even in middle school), you start freaking out because teachers over hype them.

It's standardized by the state (of North Carolina no less), and I find that the "standards" are ridiculously low.

Tests given by some teachers in high school are tougher than EOCs sometimes/most of the time.

"Other tests" taken by bugturtles: A year ago I took an ASVAB, scored 95 (had recruiters everywhere practically on top of me when they learned about it). This year, took ASVAB, got 85. I think it was mainly me not retaining information of Biology (which I have forgotten over the past year), which shows up a lot on the Science portion of the ASVAB.

EOGs are normally for middle school, while the EOCs are for certain classes (mandatory by the state) here. As far as I remember, Civics and Economics, US History, and Algebra 1 have EOCs (I think I am forgetting some for some reason). I read somewhere that they removed the Civics and Economics EOC, recently however.

I do admit that the US History one can be difficult if you do not remember a lot of the information, though.

So he's in NC? Or do they do it in some other states?

What's better, next year I'll be a freshman, so I get SAT's, goodbye CMT's!

SAT's are only for junior/senior year...?
