The Early Assessment Program (EAP) is a statewide program developed by the California Department of Education, State Board of Education, and all California State University system and all California public high schools to ensure that college-bound graduates have the English and Math skills expected by the CSUs and participating community colleges. It gives a great opportunity for students in the 11th grade, as well as the teachers and parents, to be well aware of how qualified their English and Math skills are for college.
