Starting in June 2020, US History and Government students in New York State will be able to take the USHG Framework exam. To help administrators, teachers, and students prepare for the exam, we have written test items that align with the prototype put out by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) in June 2019.

As we learn more about the assessment and get feedback on these items we will revise and add to this exam bank. In addition, we hope to include exemplars and example student responses in the future.

As social studies educators in New York State, we are all in this together, so let’s collaborate! If you would like to share test items you have written with others, please send items to socialstudiescurriculum@newvisions.org. We’ll be glad to give you credit for the items you’ve created.
