Thanks for this. I think the test is pretty interesting:
- The first and second sections test math skills up to about a grade five or six level, at least based on what I learned in Ontario schools in the 1980s.
- The third section seems pretty suggestive of the philosophy of the teacher training system. I didn't have much trouble guessing 16/21 questions correctly, despite never having read any of the referenced books.
- I would love to see how scores on the first and second sections of the test correlate with answers to the questionnaire that forms section four.
- I'm not sure what the pass standard for this test is, but I would be rather concerned if teachers who had scored less than 75% on the first two sections were permitted to teach mathematics (or science) above a grade 4 level. (Certain choices of answers on the questionnaire section would also provoke similar concerns.)
