Activity 3: Assessments
There are two (2) assessments associated with the Interdisciplinary Studies Subdomain. They are as follows:
Natural Science Part I (ISA4)
The Natural Science Part I (ISA4) Assessment consists of seven performance tasks that are completed using TaskStream. The tasks are designed to demonstrate student competency based on application of concepts. The instructions for each task can be accessed through TaskStream. Read through the directions and the grading rubric before beginning each task. The tasks can be completed in any order. Once the task is completed, submit it to be graded. (Note: BUS, IT, and ISC5 students do not complete the ISA4 and do not complete the performance tasks listed in the modules. BUS and IT students are responsible to know the information assessed in the performance tasks for the Natural Science Competency Exam (ISC4/ISC5).
Natural Science Part II (ISC4 or ISC5)
The Natural Science Part II Assessment is a scheduled proctored objective exam at a secure testing center. There are multiple forms of the Natural Science Part II Assessment. Each form contains a total of 43 objective items. The IBT Prometric server "counts" each Matching item as a separate item. The IBT item “counts” range from 99 to 106 depending on the form of the assessment you receive.
The test consists of multiple choice, multiple selection, and matching questions on science concepts, science inquiry, life, earth, space, and physical science. You will have two (2) hours to complete the assessment. When you go to the proctored site, do not bring any texts or study materials with you, but do bring some identification. Be sure you are rested, and wear comfortable clothes. You will take the assessment online. Read each question carefully to make sure you understand what you are being asked to do. Reread the question if needed. The passing score on the entire test is 62% or better.
