What the Tennessee end of course assessment in Algebra 1 covers

The state's blueprint names four reporting categories, and the questions keep their shares. Functions is the largest: function notation, key features, rates of change, and linear and exponential models. Equations and Inequalities covers linear, absolute value and quadratic equations, systems and formulas. Structure and Operations covers units, expressions and polynomials. Statistics and Probability covers center, spread, lines of fit and correlation.

How each answer was checked

Every question carries the code of the Algebra I standard it practices, such as A1.A.REI.B.3. Each answer is algebra on the numbers in the question and was computed a second time. The test facts come from the blueprint and the state's end-of-course overview.

Questions and answers

How many questions are on the TN Algebra 1 EOC?

37 to 42 items count toward the score. With field test items the test has 46 to 56, in three subparts that total 120 minutes. This page has 42 questions, all multiple choice.

Is the TN Ready Algebra 1 test the same as the TCAP Algebra I EOC?

Yes. The state's blueprint calls it the TCAP Algebra I end-of-course assessment. TNReady is a name the state's own testing pages also carry for the program.

Can you use a calculator on the Tennessee Algebra 1 EOC?

On two of the three subparts. The state's overview lists Subpart 1, 35 minutes, as no calculator, and Subparts 2 and 3, 50 and 35 minutes, as calculator subparts.

Is this a practice EOC test for Algebra 1 in TN from the state?

No. It is unofficial practice written for this site. The Tennessee Department of Education has practice tests and released items of its own, and the box under the questions links to its blueprint page.
