9. Depends on grade level.

If you're in 3rd grade, then the stuff you learn in May counts towards what you'll be tested on next time 'round.

If you're in 9th grade, the only EOC you get in April is the ELA reading/writing. Now, I don't know why the reading ELA is included in this. But the field test my juniors took had 3 compositions, handwritten, and it's going to take some people time to read them.

The rest at my school are given 5/7, 8, 9. After that we have 3 weeks (possibly 4, I'm not sure what the EOC kids are doing when my juniors and seniors have dead days and finals).
