The American Government examination covers the scope and emphasis of material that is usually taught in one-semester introductory courses in American government and politics at the college level in the United States. These courses go beyond a general understanding of civics to incorporate political processes and behavior. The exam covers topics such as the institutions and policy processes of the federal government, the federal courts and civil liberties, political parties and interest groups, political beliefs and behavior, and the content and history of the Constitution.

The American Literature exam covers material that is usually taught in a survey course at the college level. It deals with the prose and poetry written in the United States from colonial times to the present. It is primarily a test of knowledge about literary works—their content, background, and authors—but also requires an ability to interpret poetry, fiction and nonfiction prose, as well as a familiarity with the terminology used by literary critics and historians. The examination emphasizes fiction and poetry and deals to a lesser degree with the essay, drama, and autobiography.

The Analyzing and Interpreting Literature examination covers material usually taught in a general two-semester undergraduate course in literature. Although the examination does not require familiarity with specific works, it does assume that candidates have read widely and perceptively in poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction. The questions are based on passages supplied in the test. These passages have been selected so that no previous experience with them is required to answer the questions. The passages are taken primarily from American and British literature.

The Biology examination covers material that is usually taught in a one-year college general biology course. The subject matter tested covers the broad field of the biological sciences, organized into three major areas: molecular and cellular biology, organismal biology, and populational biology. The examination gives approximately equal weight to these three areas, and the questions relating to them are interspersed randomly throughout the test.

The Calculus examination covers skills and concepts that are usually taught in a one-semester college course in calculus. The content of each examination is approximately 60% limits and differential calculus and 40% integral calculus. Algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, and general functions are included. The exam is primarily concerned with an intuitive understanding of calculus and experience with its methods and applications. Knowledge of preparatory mathematics, including algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and analytic geometry is assumed.

The Chemistry examination covers material that is usually taught in a one-year general chemistry course. Understanding of the structure and states of matter, reaction types, equations and stoichiometry, equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamics, and descriptive and experimental chemistry is required, as is the ability to interpret and apply this material to new and unfamiliar problems. During this examination, both a calculator function and a periodic table are available to candidates as part of the testing software.

The College Algebra examination covers material that is usually taught in a one-semester college course in algebra. Nearly half of the test is made up of routine problems requiring basic algebraic skills; the remainder involves solving nonroutine problems in which candidates must demonstrate their understanding of concepts. The test includes questions on basic algebraic operations; linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, and graphs; algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions; and miscellaneous other topics. It is assumed that candidates are familiar with currently taught algebraic vocabulary, symbols, and notation. The test places little emphasis on arithmetic calculations, and it does not contain any questions that require the use of a calculator. However, an online scientific calculator (nongraphing) will be available during the examination.

The College Mathematics examination covers material generally taught in a college course for nonmathematics majors and majors in other fields not requiring knowledge of advanced mathematics. Approximately half of the test requires candidates to solve routine straightforward problems; the remainder involves solving nonroutine problems in which candidates must demonstrate their understanding of concepts. The test includes questions on the real number system, logic, sets, equations, functions and their graphs, probability, statistics, and data analyses. A few questions on other topics are included, such as complex numbers, logarithms and exponents, and applications from algebra and geometry. It is assumed that candidates are familiar with currently taught mathematics vocabulary, symbols, and notation. The examination places little emphasis on arithmetic calculations, and it does not contain any questions that require the use of a calculator. However, an online nongraphing scientific calculator is available to candidates during the examination as part of the testing software.
