These texts reflect a range of complexity levels, in terms of ideas, syntax and style. The writing tasks, or Extended Response (ER) items, require test-takers to analyze source texts and use evidence drawn from the texts to support their answers. Mathematical Reasoning — Covers two major content areas: quantitative problem solving (45%) and algebraic problem solving (55%). Problem solving skills are measured by questions from both academic and workforce contexts. Candidates are provided with an on-screen calculator. Science — Focuses upon three areas: life science (40%), physical science (40%), and earth and space science (20%).The test includes items that measure textual analysis and understanding, data representation and inference skills, and problem solving that centers on the themes of human health and living systems and energy and related systems. Social Studies — Covers four major content areas: civics and government (50%), US history (20%), economics (15%), and geography and the world(15%). Two major themes are emphasized: the development of modern liberties and democracy.
