This final exam tests not only higher level social studies skills but students content knowledge in the American Revolution, Elections, Local State and Federal Government, The Legislative Branch, The Executive Branch, Judicial Branch, and Comparative Government. This is a great resource if you are in need of a government exam or just want to boost yours.

Since we are all new to these standards and new tests and there are not many resources available, I have tried to provide more practice problems for us all to use to help our students succeed!

This file contains 2 LARGE Common Core Civics EOC practice tests. All problems are created based on those released by the state of Florida. Each sheet allows space for students to practice locating important information, show their work, and write their answer. Some are multiple choice to provide practice for the EOC's multiple choice responses, but they must also explain their answer choice. Answer Keys are included along with each test. This is a strong way to test your students knowledge and growth throughout the year if you would like to use it as a Baseline, Mid-year, and Final. You could also use it as a practice test before their EOC. Maybe as a resource for collecting that data that your admin keeps asking for. The tests are large, so maybe printing a class set and having students use an answer sheet to save money, time and paper, would be a great use of this resource.
