The humanities exam tests the student’s general knowledge of both performing and visual arts, and literature. It is very broad in scope and covers poetry, prose, art history, philosophy, music, theater, architecture, film, and dance. Candidates must demonstrate their knowledge of facts (names, works); understand and interpret literary passages and art works; recognize medium, style, writer’s characteristics and other techniques. Students must show their understanding of humanities by interpreting works of art, recalling specific information, and applying concepts. The test is normally used for high school students seeking college credit in general humanities, therefore having a broad scope.
