Multiple-Choice Questions on the TASC<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nWhether you take the TASC test on paper or on a computer, most of the questions you see will be multiple-choice questions, with four options. For each of those questions, only one answer choice is correct. An example is below.<\/p>\nBecause of the narrator\u2019s point of view, what does the reader know? <\/em><\/p>\nA. only Bobby Stark\u2019s actions <\/em><\/p>\nB. thoughts and feelings of the characters <\/em><\/p>\nC. the actions and speech of the characters <\/em><\/p>\nD. only Daphne\u2019s thoughts and feelings <\/em><\/p>\nGridded Response on the TASC<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nOn both the computer version of the TASC and the paper-and-pencil version, you will see gridded response items on the Mathematics Test. Gridded response items allow you to enter a numerical response, including (if appropriate) fractions and decimals. The two images below show you what the gridded response answer grid will look like. In both of these images, a test taker has entered an answer of \u201c3.\u201d You may enter your answer into a grid either starting from the left or starting from the right.

\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nMultiple-Response Questions on the TASC<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\nSome items on the TASC test may ask you to provide multiple responses. Multiple-response items may look at first glance like multiple-choice items, but multiple-response items will include an instruction telling you to select all the choices that apply. Sometimes you will be told how many answer choices to select; in other questions, you must use your own judgment about how many answer choices to select. There is no \u201cpartial credit\u201d on these items; you must select all the correct answer choices in order for the question to be counted as correct. An example is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nUnited States\u2019 involvement in the Vietnam War lasted from 1959 to 1974, but the roots of the conflict go back much farther. Which of the following factors are mentioned in the passage above and also describe aspects of the Vietnam War? Select three.<\/em><\/p>\n\uf0a3\u00a0 the reduction of French imperialism<\/em>
\n \uf0a3\u00a0 the destruction of Kiev<\/em>
\n \uf0a3\u00a0 the splitting of one nation into two<\/em>
\n \uf0a3\u00a0 tension between communist and democratic powers<\/em>
\n \uf0a3\u00a0 the migration of displaced persons from Eastern Europe<\/em><\/p>\nCombined Multiple-Response and Multiple-Choice Questions on the TASC<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nA few questions on the Reading Test will combine a multiple-choice item with a multiple-response item. You will have to answer both of these items correctly in order to get credit for either one. These questions are known as evidence-based selected response items. The second part of an evidence- based selected response item will ask you to choose statements that justify or explain your answer to the first part of the item. As with multiple-response items, the second part of an evidence-based selected response may or may not tell you how many answer choices to select. An example is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nWhat is meant by the following quote from paragraph 1? \u201cMost times Pa had a struggle to dig down so deep.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nA. It was difficult for Pa to find it within himself to be generous.<\/em><\/p>\nB. Pa had so few coins that they were usually far down in his pockets.<\/em><\/p>\nC. Pa often searched for reasons not to give coppers to Cleo and her sisters.<\/em><\/p>\nD. Pa could not really afford to give Cleo and her sisters money.<\/em><\/p>\nWhich of the following excerpts from the passage support your answer to the previous question? Select two.<\/em><\/p>\n\uf0a3\u00a0 \u201cHe gave them each a copper, too, though he could hardly spare it . . .\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\uf0a3\u00a0 \u201cPa couldn\u2019t bring himself to tell Mama.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \uf0a3\u00a0 \u201cFour coppers a day, six days a week, was half a day\u2019s pay . . .\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\uf0a3\u00a0 \u201cWhen that firstborn was a girl, she could trample on his heart . . .\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\nDrag and Drop Questions on the TASC<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\nIf you are taking the computer-based TASC test, you may also see drag and drop items. Drag and drop items require you to use the computer\u2019s mouse to arrange objects on the computer screen. Sometimes the order in which you drag and drop the items will matter; at other times the order will not matter. That will depend on the subject matter. An example is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nImtaez works as a server in a restaurant. On a certain night, he collected $157 in tips and paid y dollars to the food runner who helped him. The amount Imtaez had remaining after paying the runner was equal to ($101 + y).<\/em><\/p>\nArrange terms from the options\u00a0below to construct the equation you would use to determine how much Imtaez paid to the food runner. (You may not need to use all of the terms offered as options. Use any term only once.)<\/em><\/p>\n![\"tasc](\"http:\/\/www.kaptest.com\/blog\/prep\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2020\/05\/Screen-Shot-2020-05-12-at-4.02.41-PM.png\")
