The Global History & Geography II Regents Exam (New Exam) will be administered on Monday, June 3. It is a morning exam.
Format of the Exam: Part 1— 28 Stimulus-Based Multiple-Choice Questions (Approx. 54% of Score) In each multiple-choice question, students will be presented with a stimulus or set of stimuli and a series of two or more questions related to that stimulus/stimuli. Occasionally, a stimulus may be used to test a single question. Students will be asked to answer multiple-choice questions based on the stimulus/stimuli and on their knowledge of social studies. Part 2— 2 Sets of Short-Answer Constructed-Response Questions (CRQs) (Approx. 17% of Score) Short-answer constructed-response questions are designed to assess social science and historical thinking skills using primary and secondary sources. Each set of CRQs is based on a pair of documents and has three parts; context, sourcing, and relationship. There will always be two CRQ sets on each examination; one Cause and Effect set and one Similarities/Differences or Turning Point set. Part 3—1 Enduring Issues Essay (Approx. 29% of Score) The enduring issues essay question will include five documents. Each of the five documents will contain multiple issues. An enduring issue is a challenge or a problem that has been debated or discussed across time. An enduring issue is one that many societies have attempted to address with varying degrees of success. The task requires students to identify and define an enduring issue based on a historically accurate interpretation of at least three documents, define the issue using evidence from at least three documents, and argue that this is a significant issue that has endured. The argument should include how this issue has affected people or has been affected by people and how the issue has continued to be an issue or has changed over time. Comments are closed.
