What is an End of Instruction Exam (EOI)??
EOI stands for End of Instruction exam. These Oklahoma state tests are used to assess student achievement; target student, classroom, and program improvement; and inform parents of student progress. The administration of the OCCT and OAAP tests fulfills federal and state mandates for testing math, reading, and science are used for federal accountability. The scope and general administration of the OSTP is outlined in state law, 70 O.S. § 1210.505. Rules that govern the specifics of test administration and other details are available under Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) 210:10-13.

What if I don't pass??
If an Oklahoma student does not receive a Proficient score, what are the options for retesting?
- Step One: Students will be provided remediation opportunities and will either:
- Retake the EOI test; or
- Score Satisfactory/Proficient on a State Board of Education approved alternate test which can be taken prior to or subsequent to the EOI test.
- Step Two: Students who do not achieve a Satisfactory or Proficient score through Step One will continue to receive remediation opportunities and will either:
- Retake the EOI test; or
- Score Satisfactory or Proficient on a State Board of Education approved alternate test; or
- Demonstrate mastery of the subject matter through an end of course project designed by the State Department of Education (SDE) and approved by the State Board of Education using rubrics approved by the State Board of Education.
- Students who do not meet the graduation requirements through Step Two may repeat Step Two as necessary.
