Measured Progress is responsible for item development, test construction, and ancillary test material production for the Georgia High School Graduation Tests. Each year, about 120,000 students in grade 11 take the tests, which cover English language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. This project includes the development and administration of Opportunity to Learn surveys for the Georgia Department of Education. Measured Progress also assists Georgia with item alignment and validation, as well as item bank replenishment and maintenance.

In addition, Measured Progress provides services for the Georgia End of Course Tests, including item development, data and item review, test construction, alignment studies, and production of all content-related ancillary materials. This assessment covers eight content areas in four subjects. The EOCT is administered in winter, spring, and summer, with mid-month, on-line administrations occurring six times a year. Approximately 800,000 students take the End of Course Tests each year.
