Content Test Information and Links

All students need to submit practice test information and documentation that they have attempted the ILTS Content Test prior to student teaching; this is part of the Department Approval Process. 
 
Through April 5, 2026, you may choose from two options. The old test is ILTS Content test 246 - Social Science: History. ILTS Content Test 315 has now been released. Despite the fact that you can choose, you should register for the new test, 315. 
 
 
ILTS Test Framework, Strategies, and Some Sample MC Questions - Test 315
 
My best advice is to blend work with practice questions - so you get familiar with how the test works - with review of content, particularly World History and US History, followed by world geography, basic consumer economics bits, and civics. Through Booth Library, you have access to the Mometrix prep materials. In the Booth catalog, just search for "ILTS 315" and you will find them. 
 
Reach out to Dr. L-S for more information and prep tips; sessions that cover the content test are held near the beginning of every semester.
