As a mathematics instructor, I pride myself upon mathematical precision and conceptual analysis. As such, I judge mathematical works aside from my own with the platonic ideal of perfection. Now, since I'm a mathematics instructor, this review will be concerned with the mathematics section only. If you'd like to acquire an overall review, please seek elsewhere; this review is for other math teachers and mathematically weak -- or strong -- students looking for the good and bad qualities of the math section.
Pros:
The TASC aptly represents the newly established standards in the Common Core curriculum and, as such, the TASC asks students to showcase the equivalent level of knowledge that a high school graduate would (presumably) know. The previous equivalency exam, the GED, was scrapped partially because students were passing it, but entering remediation in College. In other words, how can an exam supposedly equivalent to the high school diploma have students passing it, but not College ready? In NYC, this is a huge problem and CUNY two-year schools suffer from a gargantuan influx of students who need remediation assistance and they now constitute a large majority of incoming students. For example, there are consistently about 3+ sections for only one remediation class whereas there only exists a sparse single section for Calculus I or Calculus II. This is not only (further) damaging the reputation of two year schools, but it is also coercing professors with excellent credentials(M.S., PhD, etc.) into positions where they're teaching high school level work. However, I digress.
Now, back to what I stated previously: The TASC represents knowledge found in the Common Core system.
