The Social Studies test provides evidence of a test taker's ability to use social studies content knowledge 
as well as analyze and evaluate various kinds of social studies information. The test uses materials 
from a variety of content areas, including history, political science, geography, and economics. Primary 
documents, posters, cartoons, timelines, maps, graphs, tables, charts, and reading passages may be 
used to present information. The questions may ask test takers to distinguish statements of fact from 
opinion; recognize the limitations of procedures and methods; and make judgments about the 
reliability of sources, the validity of inferences and conclusions, and the adequacy of information for 
drawing conclusions. This test may contain some questions that will not count toward your score.
