A. The Social Studies tests consist of two sessions.
1. Session 1 consists of 32
multiple-choice test items for grade 11 that assess knowledge, conceptual
understanding, and application of skills in all four social studies strands
(i.e., Geography, Civics, Economics, and History). Items in Session 1 are
intermingled across strands.
2.
Session 2 consists of 2 open-ended questions calling for a constructed response
and requiring higher-order thinking in a social studies context (e.g., grasping
a concept, analyzing information, evaluating a principle, or applying a skill).
Students may be required to construct or interpret a chart, graph, map,
timeline, or other graphic representation; to supply a short written answer; or
to produce a short writing in response to a social studies issue or problem.
Each of the constructed-response items represents one of the four social
studies strands. Each task in part B is scored on a 0 to 2 point
scale.
