| This website is written for adult GED
students in Illinois, who will be required to take a Constitution
test prepared by the State of Illinois. This website presents information
about the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, the
Illinois Constitution, and the U.S. flag. The GED Constitution test
include questions about all of these documents.
The website consists of 7 separate lessons. The lessons
contain
the information you will be tested on. It's
necessary to read over each lesson carefully. It is also possible
to print out the lessons. You can read more about how
to print out a web page below.
At the
end of each lesson, there is a quiz. The quizzes are written to
closely resemble the actual test, so it's a good idea to take the quiz
after you've read the lesson. The quiz is graded instantly;
correct and incorrect answers will be shown. You should
get at least half of all the questions correct. If you don't get
most of the questions correct, go back and reread the lesson. Take
the quiz over again.
A list
of all the quizzes is also on a separate web page. You can print the quizzes out or
print out the page that tells you which answers were right and which
were wrong.
There is
also a 50-question review test. You should take this test as a
final review before you take the real test. The real test
will have 60 multiple choice questions. The review test, just like
the real test, mixes up questions about all the documents you have
studied. For example, one question may be about the Illinois Constitution,
the next about the U.S. Constitution, and the next about the U.S. flag
code. Remember that you need to get at least half of the questions
correct to pass the test.
The student record sheet
will help you keep track of which lessons you've completed and how
you've done on the quizzes. You'll want to print out that
web page.
At the bottom of each lesson is a listing of web sites that provide
further information about the people, places, and events mentioned in
the lesson. These sites are interesting, excellent resources, but
you will not be tested on this additional information.
This web site looks and works best when using Internet Explorer,
version 4.0 or better.
