High School Chemistry Test The spring 05 high school Chemistry test was based on learning standards in the Chemistry content strand of the Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework (006). These learning standards appear on pages 69 7 of the Framework, which is available on the Department website at www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html. Chemistry test results are reported under the following four MCAS reporting categories: Atomic Structure and Periodicity Bonding and Reactions Properties of Matter and Thermochemistry Solutions, Equilibrium, and Acid-Base Theory The table at the conclusion of this chapter indicates each item s reporting category and the framework learning standard it assesses. In order to support future test development, items from the spring 05 Chemistry test are not included in this publication. The omission of these items will have no impact on the reporting of results. Test Sessions The high school Chemistry test included two separate test sessions, which were administered on consecutive days. Each session included multiple-choice and open-response questions. Reference Materials and Tools Each student taking the high school Chemistry test was provided with a Chemistry Formula and Constants Sheet/Periodic Table of the Elements. Copies of both sides of this formula sheet appear on the following pages. Each student also had sole access to a calculator with at least four functions and a square-root key. During both Chemistry test sessions, the use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries was allowed for current and former English language learner students only. No other reference tools or materials were allowed.
