The Early Assessment Program (EAP) is a collaborative effort between the California Department of Education (CDE), the California State University (CSU), and the State Board of Education (SBE) designed to assess students for college readiness in their high school junior year. The EAP is a voluntary eleventh grade assessment that combines CSU placement standards with California high school standards. This early assessment identifies whether a student is prepared for college at a point when students have the time to gain the needed preparation during the high school senior year.
