The mathematics test has three sessions to be taken separately:
Session 1 (pages 3 to 17) includes 30 multiple-choice
questions—a calculator may not be used.
Session 2 (pages 19 to 31) includes 20 multiple-choice
questions—a calculator may be used.
Session 3 (page 33) includes 1 constructed-response
question—a calculator may be used.

A Mathematics Reference Sheet, which students may use for all sessions, is located on
page 36.
Students respond to multiple-choice items using the Answer Sheets on pages 34 and 35
and a constructed-response item using page 33 of Session 3.
The Answer Keys and Scoring Rubric, used to score student responses, are located on
pages 37 to 39.

When printing the PDF files for the three Math Sessions, be sure to set the Page Scaling
drop-down menu on the Print screen to None, No Scaling, or Actual Size depending on
the printer you are using. Otherwise, measurement items may not be the correct size,
which may impact student responses.
