- Summary:
-
The booklet presents the two-part Grade 12 Diploma Examination for the Social Studies 30 program. Part 1 consists of 70 multiple-choice questions worth 70% of the total score. Each question has four choices and students must choose the one which best completes the statement or answers the question. Many questions are based on narratives, statements, maps, charts, and cartoons provided on the test. Part 2 consists of the written-response questions worth 30% of the total score. Students must choose 1 of 2 essay topics: "To what extent should the state become involved in the activities of its citizens?" or "To what extent should nations use force or negotiation in responding to threats of aggression?" A short paragraph introduces each issue. The essay is graded on three criteria: (1) explaining the issue by stating its importance and by describing competing value positions underlying the issue; (2) describing one or more policies implemented (or actions taken) by governments of nations other than Canada in dealing with the issue, and evaluating their effectiveness, and (3) stating what position the Canadian government should take on the issue. Students have 2.5 hours to complete the examination. (TRS)
