End of Course Exams

End-of-Course exams are similar to exams often taken upon completing a class, but end-of-course exams are standardized tests given by the state. Proponents for end-of-course exams say they better predict success at the college level than say grades or other exit exams.

The Center on Policy Education (CPE), a Washington, DC based education research organization, predicts that by 2014 at least 14 states will require end-of-course exams in subjects like English, algebra and biology.

There are critics of end-of-course exams who claim students are already tested too much, and adding these exams on top of the litany of tests students are already required to take just adds to the pressure students face. The cost of administering these exams is another concern often cited by critics.
