MCAS Review - Introductory Physics

Exam Date: June 2, 3

The MCAS test is designed to assess student knowledge in the area of Introductory Physics. The test writers use the current version of the Introductory Physics curriculum frameworks to establish the test content. Skills in reading, writing, mathematics, critical thinking, logic, synthesis and creative thinking are all required to succeed on the exam, in addition to mastery of the content material. Use the review material presented on this website to help you attain a greater understanding of the content and practice the other skills that are required for solid MCAS performance.

Make use of your textbook, lecture notes, old exams, laboratory investigations and practice problems to help prepare you for the MCAS exam. We will work, also, thoughout the semester on problems from prior MCAS exams. Keep these question sets handy for review. Open-response questions will be practiced and the state-provided exemplars will be used to give you a standard by which to score your responses. Again, keep these handy for review.

For state-provided information about the MCAS exam, including sample questions and statistics, visit the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System website. Georgetown Middle/High School Introductory Physics class information can be found through the Edline online resource and Physics Department blog.
