Tennessee High School Testing Requirements 

End-of-Course (EOC) Exams

Tennessee high school students are required to take End-of-Course (EOC) exams in the following subjects:

  • English I & II
  • Algebra I & II
  • Geometry
  • Biology
  • U.S. History

These exams are part of the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) and count toward the student’s final course grade.

 

ACT or SAT Requirement

All 11th-grade students in Tennessee public schools must take the ACT or SAT as part of the state’s graduation requirements.

  • At Jellico High School, the ACT is the test administered during the school day at no cost to students.
  • The ACT is offered twice per year on campus:
    • Spring semester of junior year
    • Fall semester of senior year
  • Students may choose which test to take, though most schools default to the ACT.
  • Students may also take the ACT on a national test date and may take it as many times as they wish to improve their score.

PreACT for 10th Graders

All 10th-grade students take the PreACT, a preparatory assessment that:

  • Mirrors the format and content of the ACT
  • Helps students identify academic strengths and areas for improvement
  • Is used for dual enrollment placement and college readiness planning

 

ASVAB Testing at JHS

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a career exploration tool administered to Jellico High School juniors each year. While commonly associated with military enlistment, the ASVAB is also a valuable resource for students exploring civilian career paths.

  • Discover your strengths and interests
  • Explore career options in both military and civilian fields
  • Receive personalized career planning tools through the ASVAB Career Exploration Program

The test is free, and results are shared with students, counselors, and—only with permission—military recruiters.
