So, what are the main differences between the History and the Composite Social Studies TExESs?
There are two main differences between the History and the Composite TExES. First, the History test contains questions dealing only with the study of history, while the Composite test covers four specific content areas: history, government, geography, and economics. Because of this, the Composite test contains more questions and requires students to possess a fairly strong foundation in all subject areas. Second, the Composite test questions each contain information from at least two of the content areas; students, therefore, must be able to integrate their knowledge and study to answer most questions. All in all, the Composite test is much more difficult than the History test.
