How many questions are on the Texas U.S. History EOC, and how long is it?
64 questions worth 78 points: 50 one-point questions and 14 two-point questions. It is taken online. The manual says students are expected to finish within three to four hours and may keep working until the end of the school day, up to seven hours.
The form
- 64 questions, 78 points: 50 one-point questions (multiple choice and non-multiple-choice) and 14 two-point questions (non-multiple-choice), per the agency's blueprint in effect since 2022-23.
- Four reporting categories with set ranges of questions and points; see the reporting categories.
- Question types on the released forms of 2023 to 2026: multiple choice (most of the test), multiselect (select two of five), two-part questions, inline choice, hot text, drag and drop, hot spot, match-table grids and a few short written responses. The two-point questions are the non-multiple-choice ones.
Delivery
The manual says the assessments are administered online; a paper version may be approved only in rare circumstances where a student's needs preclude online testing.
Time
The manual says students are expected to complete the assessment within three to four hours and must finish within the same school day, unless approved for an extra day or interrupted by a health event. A student who needs more time may continue until the end of the regularly scheduled school day, up to seven hours. Campuses consolidate students still testing after about four hours.
Practice here
The practice forms on this site follow the 64-question, 78-point design, with multiple-choice, select-two and two-part questions, and an optional timer set to the expected four hours. Hot-text, drag-and-drop and hot-spot formats exist only on screen in the state's system; the state's released forms show them.
More questions
- Is the Texas U.S. History EOC timed?
- The manual gives an expectation rather than a hard limit: students are expected to finish within three to four hours, must finish the same school day, and may work until the end of the regular school day, up to seven hours.
- Is the Texas U.S. History EOC all multiple choice?
- No. Of the 64 questions, 14 are two-point non-multiple-choice questions such as select-two, two-part, inline-choice and hot-text items. The remaining 50 are one-point questions, mostly multiple choice.
