For the 2010 assessment, test developers chose 18 blocks from the previous U.S. history assessment—four at grade 4, seven at grade 8, and seven at grade 12—and created two new blocks each at grades 4 and 12 and three new blocks at grade 8. Two of the blocks at each grade from the 2010 U.S. history assessment were released and are available to the public via the NAEP Questions Tool. Released blocks of questions are not used in later assessments.
The tables below display the NAEP 2010 U.S. history assessment student booklet configurations for grade 4, grade 8, and grade 12.
