The new STAR Physics RTQs are up!

Here they are!

As always, let me know if you find anything objectionable in the new set.

UPDATE: No points will be awarded for finding the typographical errors in item #10 or item #64. The error in #64 though... wow! Not to worry: those will be fixed "with all deliberate speed."

A skyhook and roundtuit will be awarded to the first commenter who correctly identifies the previously-released RTQ that has now been retired. The CDE is not completely deaf to item criticism from the field.

    PH1. g. Students know circular motion requires the application of a constant force directed toward the center of the circle.

    Should read UNIFORM circular motion

    1. agree, and
    2. can assure you that the chances of modifying California's Academic Content Standards are, as they say, "between slim and none; and slim just left."

    Typos in the RTQs will be fixed. Errors in the standards... do not exist.
