Study guides, practice tests, and End-of-Course exam - Please note: One of the End-of-Course exams is a US Government (Civics) and Economics test, so both courses should be completed before taking the exam. The other End-of-Course exam is missing a few questions (designated "FIELD TEST ITEM"), so they should be skipped and the total grade adjusted to reflect the true number of exam questions. Also, an additional exam is included that does not have an answer key. It can be used as study reference material to give students an idea of the types of questions to expect.
