Chapter One
CAHSEE English-Language Arts: Reading
The Reading questions of the CAHSEE English-Language Arts are composed of Word Analysis questions, Reading
Comprehension questions, and Literary Response and Analysis questions. The number of questions that actually count
toward your score in each of these categories is as follows:
Word Analysis 7 multiple-choice questions
Reading Comprehension 18 multiple-choice questions
Literary Response and Analysis 20 multiple-choice questions
Remember, these question types are not in any particular order. Of the 79 questions on the CAHSEE English-Language
Arts, 72 actually count toward your score. Although there will be more than 45 Reading questions, only 45 will count
toward your score. The Writing Multiple-Choice questions and one essay will account for the remaining questions.
A special note: The reading passages and the questions following the reading passages are NOT in order of difficulty.
