This testis one of the California Standards Tests administered as part of the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program under policies set by the State Board of Education.  \nAll questions on the California Standards Tests are evaluated by committees of content experts, including teachers and administrators, to ensure their appropriateness for measuring the California academic content and skills standards in World History–Social Science. In addition to content, all items are reviewed and approved to ensure their adherence to the principles of fairness and to ensure no bias exists with respect to characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, and language.  \nThis document contains released test questions from the California Standards Test forms in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. First on the pages that follow are lists of the standards assessed on the World History– Social Science Test. Next are released test questions. Following the questions is a table that gives the correct answer for each question, the content and skills (where applicable) standard that each question is measuring, and the year each question last appeared on the test.  \nThe following table lists each reporting cluster, the number of items that appear on the exam, and the number of released test questions that appear in this document.  \nREPORTING CLUSTER  \nNUMBER OF QUESTIONS ON EXAM  \nNUMBER OF RELEASED TEST QUESTIONS  \n\n| 1.

These released test questions do not reflect all of the ways the standards may be assessed. Released test questions will not appear on future tests.  \nFor more information about the California Standards Tests, visit the California Department of Education’s Web site at [http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/resources.asp](http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/resources.asp).  \n— 1 —  \nThis is a sample of California Standards Test questions.
