Five courses. Focused preparation for each.

The right approach for the test in front of them.

STAAR—the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness—includes five current high-school end-of-course assessments. Our starting point is the course, its Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), and your students’ needs.

STAAR EOC · 01

Algebra I

Discuss Algebra I

Turn the problem into a plan.

Connect equations, graphs, tables, and word problems. We help students recognize what is being asked, choose an approach, and check whether their answer makes sense.

Focus areas: Linear relationships and systems; quadratic and exponential functions; signs, units, and the requested quantity.

STAAR EOC · 02

English I

Discuss English I

Find the evidence. Build the response.

Bring reading and writing together: understand the passage, choose relevant evidence, and explain how it supports an answer. Include revision and editing alongside constructed-response practice.

Focus areas: Reading comprehension and inference; revising and editing; short and extended constructed responses.

STAAR EOC · 03

English II

Discuss English II

Make the argument clear. Support it with evidence.

Analyze the author's choices, connect ideas, and develop an organized response grounded in the text. Practice making every sentence serve the task.

Focus areas: Text analysis; purposeful evidence; organization, development, and language conventions.

English II's final STAAR EOC administration is June 2027. See the transition note below. Read the update

STAAR EOC · 04

Biology

Discuss Biology

Use the science to explain the evidence.

Connect biological concepts to the diagrams, models, and data students need to interpret. Identify what changes, what stays the same, and which explanation the evidence supports.

Focus areas: Cell processes and genetics; biological change; systems and ecosystems; scientific evidence.

STAAR EOC · 05

U.S. History

Discuss U.S. History

Connect the source to the story.

Give students a way into documents, maps, political cartoons, and historical claims. Link course knowledge to context, cause and effect, and the evidence a question asks them to use.

Focus areas: U.S. history since 1877; chronology; civic and economic developments; source analysis.

These examples introduce the teaching emphasis. We scope the agenda around the subject, student group, and available time.

A separate college-readiness pathway

TSIA2 prep: ready for the next step.

The Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 helps Texas public colleges determine readiness for entry-level coursework for non-exempt students. It is separate from STAAR EOC testing.

Discuss TSIA2 preparation

Mathematics

Build a plan around the quantitative skills students need: translate problems, work through algebra, and check solutions.

English Language Arts and Reading

Connect reading, revision, and editing with planning and developing an essay. Scope the support to the readiness area students need.

Two ways to bring us to campus

A concentrated boost. Or a day to go deeper.

Each program focuses on a subject. Choose the time and depth that fit your students, with instruction and materials handled by our team.

Approximately 90 minutes · Subject Crash Course

Make a short window count.

A lively presenter packs the session with useful approaches, memorable examples, and student participation. Connect important course concepts to the decisions students face on the assessment.

Best for: reaching a larger course group with a concentrated review before a testing window.

$3,499 for the first event

Ask about additional sessions.

Full school day · Subject Boot Camp

Give understanding time to stick.

More time for content review, worked examples, guided practice, and independent application. Students can test an approach, see where it breaks down, and practice a better one.

Best for: a cohort that needs deeper preparation, with room for error analysis and discussion of next steps.

$9,900 for up to 100 students

$99 per additional student. Final scope and any travel or staffing needs are confirmed in your quote.

Plan a subject Boot Camp

Another reason to prepare for the ACT

Build ACT skills. Open another path toward graduation.

ACT preparation can support more than college plans. For eligible Texas students, qualifying ACT scores can satisfy an English I or English II EOC graduation requirement. Our ACT Boot Camp and Crash Course help students approach English and reading with practical strategies, memorable examples, and a plan for test day.

Planning for 2026–27 and beyond

STAAR now. A state transition ahead.

TEA says STAAR will be replaced beginning in 2027–28. English II’s final EOC administration is June 2027; students enrolled in English II in 2026–27 still test as first-time testers. Graduation and retesting requirements depend on the student’s situation. We’ll discuss your testing window and use current state guidance when scoping the program.

FAQ

Can we book just one EOC subject?

Yes. Start with one subject and one student group, or discuss a sequence across courses and campuses. Each subject is scoped separately; a full-day Boot Camp is not five complete EOC courses compressed into one day.

Is this for first-time testers or students retesting?

We can discuss either audience. Share the subject, testing window, and the skills your team wants to prioritize. The review emphasis and amount of practice should reflect the students in the room.

Will our teachers need to prepare or teach the sessions?

TPA leads the instruction and prepares the program materials. Your team helps coordinate the audience, schedule, room, supervision, and access needs. We agree on those responsibilities before the event.

Do students need devices?

We confirm the practice format, device access, connectivity, and presentation equipment during planning. Tell us about your campus setup and accessibility needs so we can agree on a workable session.

What does an EOC program cost?

A subject Boot Camp is $9,900 for up to 100 students, plus $99 per additional student. A subject Crash Course starts at $3,499 for the first event; ask about additional sessions. We confirm the subject, group size, materials, any follow-up, and travel or staffing needs in your quote. Multiple subjects are scoped separately.

Is TSIA2 another STAAR EOC test?

No. The Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 supports college-readiness and placement decisions for non-exempt entering students at Texas public institutions. It assesses mathematics and English Language Arts and Reading, including an essay component. We plan TSIA2 preparation separately from STAAR EOC support.

Do you guarantee a passing score?

No. Our programs provide focused instruction and practice; individual results depend on starting skills, participation, and continued preparation. Your school determines each student's testing and graduation requirements using current state guidance.
