Constructed Response Tools for Educators

Constructed Response items give students a chance to demonstrate important critical thinking abilities by developing an argument and using evidence to support it. The GED^® test has two Constructed Response items for the Reasoning Through Language Arts test (RLA) test.

These free tools, created by the test developers at GED Testing Service, will help you understand how Constructed Responses are scored. Use these tools to guide you as you score student responses and provide feedback to help them improve their writing skills.
