Early Assessment Program

The Early Assessment Program (EAP) was developed to
provide high school seniors an early signal and opportunity
to enter any of the 23 CSU campuses and some community
colleges ready to begin college level coursework.

The program was established to provide opportunities for high
school students to measure their readiness for college-level
English and mathematics in their junior year of high school,
and to facilitate opportunities for them to improve their skills
during their senior year.

The EAP test is administered along with the California Standard Test (CST) in the spring semester of 11th grade.  Students who decide toparticipate respond to an essay prompt in their Language Arts class and an additional 15 multiple choice in mathematics and English during the CST test.
