Primary and Secondary Sources
Slide 1 of 12
The workhorse skill of this test
On the CAEC Social Studies test, you will rarely be asked to simply recall a date. Instead, you are handed a source (a speech, a letter, a photograph, a political cartoon, a table) and asked what it means and how far you can trust it.
The good news: source analysis is a method, not a memory game. Once you can sort a source into the right type and ask a few key questions about it, these become some of the most winnable questions on the whole test.
Key pointSource questions appear across all four domains of Social Studies, so this one skill pays off again and again.
