National Evaluation Systems, Inc. has prepared for distribution by the Georgia Department of Education the set of content objectives found in this Study Guide. These objectives have been verified as important content requirements for certification. Not all of the listed objectives have had test items written for them. The selected objectives have not been identified. All objectives which appear here are certification requirements and a sampling of them will be tested.
When the project to develop the Georgia Teacher Certification Tests (TCT) was begun in November 1976, an Ad Hoc Committee composed of Georgia educators was appointed to work with NES on each TCT. The function of these Ad Hoc Committees was to review all NES-generated materials with a goal of making the materials more reflective of Georgia education needs. The first step in the test development process was that of content domain specification. Educators identified all content knowledge that an applicant would need to know to function effectively in a Georgia school. This content was further defined into content objectives, which were sent to currently practicing Georgia educators for verification. These educators provided actual ratings of the "job-relatedness" of the content objectives. At that point. it was possible to identify, from the original domain specification, the extent of essentiality of specific content skills for successful performance on the job. Test items were written for the most essential objectives which spanned the content of the field.
The purpose of providing objectives is to explicitly define the content required of an applicant for certification in this field. Further, the statement of these objectives should assist in preparing for the criterionreferenced content knowledge test. We encourage applicants to study these materials, which will enhance their understanding of the content field and alleviate any unnecessary concerns about the nature of the Georgia Teacher Certification Tests.
Along with these materials go hopes for a rewarding career in education. If you have questions or desire further information, ~ontact:

Introduction
This study guide is designed for those individuals who are preparing to take the Georgia Teacher Certification Test (TCT) in Social Studies. The study guide has been organized to follow the sequential order found within the published content objectives of the TCT in Social Studies as well as the order of the questions on the test. Examinees will find practical references keyed to each of the test objectives for each of the seven test subareas, which are:
Behavioral Sciences Georgia Studies Economics Geography History American Government Citizenship
Each subarea contains a listing of selected references which are grouped as high school textbooks, college textbooks and other related references. Following these sources, each objective for a subarea is listed with one or more specific citations directly related to that objective.
The listing of numerous sources does not mean that all are needed to grasp a particular concept or meet a given objective. Some examinees will have better access to certain sources than to other sources. Also, there are many other excellent references which are not listed due to limited space.
The Social Studies test was developed by National Evaluation Systems, Inc. and social studies educators in the state of Georgia. The objectives for this criterion-referenced test have been verified as important content requirements for certification.
Other Important Information
1. The TCT items are multiple choice with four possible answers.
2. There are no penalties for guessing when unsure of an answer.
3. While examinees are given 3! hours of actual test time, they may request additional time if needed.
4. Not all the subareas have the same number of test questions. In order to pass the TCT, an examinee does not have to pass each subarea. The test score is determined by the number of correct answers on the test.
5. The subareas are listed below, together with the number of questions on the test from each of those areas.
I. Behavioral Sciences II. Georgia Studies III. Economics IV. Geography
V. History
VI. American Government VII. Citizenship
1-10 questions 11-20 questions 11-20 questions 1-10 questions 11-20 questions 21 or more II 11-20 questions
Examinees wanting specific help with test-taking skills should ask for
assistance from their college/university counseling center and/or refer
