NavaED General Knowledge Practice Test

The General Knowledge Test is considered a basic skills test. This exam has four subtests administered in the following order:

Essay - For the GK essay test, you will have 50 min to complete a clear, coherent essay that is grammatically correct and organized. A passing score for the essay is an 8 out of a possible 12. Two readers will grade your essay. Your goal is to get at least a 4 from essay grader #1 and a score of a 4 from essay grader #2, giving you a combined score of an 8.

English Language Skills - For the English Lanaguage Skills (ELS) test, you will have 40 min to complete approximately 40 multiple-choice questions on grammar and mechanics. These questions assess your ability to identify errors in sentences as well as rhetorical devices in passages. Typical grammar questions on the ELS test have to do with comma placement, subject-verb agreement, pronoun-antecedent agreement, commonly confused words (i.e. affect vs effect), misplaced modifiers, etc.

Reading - For the reading test, you will have 55 min to complete approximately 40 multiple-choice questions that assess your comprehension of different reading passages. These passages can be single or double passages. There are aproximately 5 reading passages on the General Knowledge reading subtest.

Mathematics - For the math test, you will have 1 hour and 40 min to complete approximately 45 multiple-choice questions. These problems will test your ability in 4 areas: (1) number sense, concepts and operations, (2) geometry and measurement, (3) algebraic thinking and the coordinate plane, and (4) probability, statistics, and data interpretation.
