Constructed Response

|
This section presents a sample question and sample responses along with
the standards used in scoring the responses. When you read these sample
responses, keep in mind that they will be less polished than if they had
been developed at home, edited, and carefully presented. Examinees do
not know what questions will be asked and must decide, on the spot, how
to respond. Readers take these circumstances into account when scoring
the responses.
The questions on this test have several parts,
usually 5 or 6 parts per question. Each part is scored on a 0-3 scale as
described in the General Scoring Guide. Each response is scored by two
readers, then the scores from both readers are added together. Thus, if
a question has 5 parts it can receive a maximum of 30 points. If it has
6 parts, it can receive a maximum of 36 points. To help you budget your
time during the examination, and to show you how your responses will be
scored, the parts of each question are labeled for you.

Advice To Test Takers
This is not a test of your writing
ability. You should, however, write your response so that your ideas are
clear and, where appropriate, supported with relevant examples and
details.
You may wish
to look quickly at both questions before you begin, consider their
relative difficulty, and allocate your time accordingly. You may answer
the questions in any order you like.
Read each question completely before responding
to it. Try to answer all parts of each question.
Take some time
to organize your thinking before you respond. You may use the space
provided after each question to organize your thoughts, but anything you
write in this space will not be scored. Only responses written in the
designated space in your test book will be scored.
In order for your test to be scored, your responses must be written in
English.

Sample Question
The health-related fitness test battery includes the BACK-SAVER
SIT-AND-REACH. The two tables printed below indicate the HEALTHY FITNESS
ZONE for four individual boys or girls for the indicated test and the
individual's score on that test.
BACK SAVER SIT-AND-REACH
For each of the four individuals whose scores are given in the table,
describe a safe and effective six-week program of exercises that the
individual could engage in to improve in the BACK-SAVER SIT-AND-REACH,
or to maintain fitness if the individual's score is already in the
Healthy Fitness Zone. The exercise programs should be appropriate to age
and developmental level of the individuals for whom they are
recommended, and should also be appropriate for the level of fitness
indicated by the individual's score.
Identify one principle of motor
learning, motor development, exercise physiology, or biomechanics that
can be used to justify or explain some aspect of one or more of the
recommended exercise programs. Explain how this principle justifies or
explains that aspect of the program or programs.
