The Fundamental Subjects: Content Knowledge test assesses test takers’ skills and understanding broadly across four subjects: English Language Arts, Mathematics, Citizenship and Social Science and Science.

Test takers may answer the questions in any order they choose. The test content is not predicated on the assumption that test takers should be experts in all of the subjects.

The Citizenship and Social Science portion of this test is aligned to the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) National Standards for Social Studies Teachers.

Since the test’s purpose is to assess knowledge and skills in subject matter that may lie outside an individual’s teaching specialization, the questions in each subject focus on key indicators of general knowledge and understanding, requiring test takers to utilize fundamental skills that are founded upon broad concepts in each of the subjects. This test may contain some questions that will not count toward your score.
