The Economics test is designed for candidates who want to become high school economics teachers. The test focuses on the knowledge and skills a teacher must have to successfully teach economics. The Economics test measures whether entry-level educators have the relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities believed necessary for competent professional practice.

The test covers three major content categories: fundamental economic concepts, microeconomics, and macroeconomics. The test is 120 minutes long and contains 110 selected-response questions. For each question, the test taker is to select only one answer choice from a list of four choices. Use of calculators is not allowed.

The standards used to develop the test specification were last updated by the National Advisory Council (NAC) in 2011. The content of the test is based largely on the Voluntary National Standards in Economics, a framework designed by the Council for Economic Education (CEE), for curriculum developers and economic educators.

This test may contain some questions that will not count toward your score.
