Introduction to Chemistry
Content of tests
The testing program titled the Tennessee End of Course Assessment was establishedto meet the Tennessee mandate for end of course assessments in Tennessee secondaryschools. These tests measure the Tennessee State Performance Indicators. Subjectareas covered by the end of course assessments include Mathematics, Language Arts,History, and Science.
Test development
For the Tennessee End of Course Assessment, a staff of writers—composed of bothteachers and professional test developers experienced in each of the content areas—researched and wrote the items. Professional editors and content specialists carefullyreviewed all items and test directions for content and accuracy. To provide a largepool of items for final test selection, the test developers created approximately twiceas many items as were needed in the final editions of the tests.
After items were field tested, student responses were analyzed. Professional contenteditors and researchers carefully reviewed items, their data, and test directions forcontent, suitability, and accuracy before including particular items and test directionsin operational tests.
Chemistry Item Sampler
TN13 Page 9
Test administration
Tennessee End of Course Assessments are given to students as they near the endof courses that are included in the program. Tests may be given midyear for blockschedules or near the end of the school year.
This test contains 65 multiple-choice questions.
You will have ample time to read and answer each of the questions. The Chemistrytest has been designed to be administered in one session and is not timed. The first15 minutes are set aside to complete identifying data on the answer sheet.
A reference page, similar to the one located in this Item Sampler, will be in the frontof the actual test. This page includes the periodic table, formulas, constants, and unitconversions for use during testing.
Calculator use is recommended. Sharing calculators during testing is not permitted.
The following types of calculators/devices may NOT be used during the test:
• pocket organizers
• electronic writing pads or input devices
• Some examples of prohibited calculators are:
Casio models: CFX-9970G, Algebra FX 2.0
Hewlett-Packard models: HP-40G, HP-49G
Texas Instruments models: TI-89, TI-92, Voyage 200, TI-NSPIRE -the CAS version (The non-CAS version of TI-NSPIRE is allowable.)
• calculators that can communicate (transfer data or information) wirelessly with
other student calculators/devices
• cell phones, PSPs, and/or iPods
Students may use any four-function, scientific, or graphing calculator that does nothave any of the above features. The use of devices that have a Computer AlgebraSystem (CAS) is NOT allowed.

Tips for Taking the Test
Preparing for the test
• Review this Tennessee End of Course Item Sampler for Chemistry carefullyand thoroughly.
• Acquire a Tennessee End of Course Practice Test for Chemistry located athttp://www.state.tn.us/education/assessment/sec_samplers.shtml.
• Take the Tennessee End of Course Practice Test for Chemistry several times.• Become familiar with the correct way to mark answers on the answer sheet.
There is a sample answer sheet in the Tennessee End of Course Practice Test.
Before the test
• Get a good night’s sleep. To do your best, you need to be rested.
During the test
• Relax. It is normal to be somewhat nervous before the test. Try to relax and notworry.
• Listen. Listen to and read the test directions carefully. Ask for an explanationof the directions if you do not understand them.
• Plan your time. Do not spend too much time on any one question. If a questionseems to take too long, skip it and return to it later. Answer all questions youare sure of first.
• Think. If you are not sure how to answer a question, read it again and tryyour best to answer the question. Rule out answer choices that you know areincorrect and choose from those that remain.

Directions for Using the Item SamplerThis Item Sampler for Chemistry provides specific information to students andteachers. It contains examples of different item types for each Performance Indicatorthat may be tested in any given end of course test administration. PerformanceIndicators have been grouped under Reporting Categories. These ReportingCategories will be used to report information regarding performance on the end ofcourse tests to students, teachers, schools, and systems.
The items in this Item Sampler will not be found in the end of course tests. Thenumber of items in this Item Sampler does not reflect the emphasis of content onthe test. In order to identify the emphasis of content, the End of Course AssessmentPractice Test for Chemistry should be used. The Practice Test gives a betterrepresentation of content emphasis across Reporting Categories and PerformanceIndicators.
An Answer Key is located on Page 36. Use it to check your answers. Review itemsthat you get wrong.
