"Fahrenheit 451": Test, Study Guide, & Key

This test covers Ray Bradbury's novel "Fahrenheit 451" and has 80 multiple-choice and true-false questions. The questions are mixed up between text-based questions and beyond-the-text analytical questions that require higher order thinking skills.

Four Parts

• General Knowledge (20 questions)
• "The Hearth and the Salamander" (20 questions)
• "The Sieve and the Sand" (20 questions)
• "Burning Bright" (20 questions)

General Knowledge

• Questions straight from the text, also known as questions within the text.
• They are factual answers to questions about elements in the novel.
• These are all multiple-choice questions.

Next Three Sections

• Beyond-text questions
• About-the-text questions
• HOTS (Questions require higher-order-thinking skills)
• 54 multiple-choice questions
• 6 true-false questions

Beyond-Text Questions

• 35 questions that deal with making connections, inferring, and synthesizing.

About-the-Text Questions

• 25 questions that deal with analyzing the writer’s craft and critically thinking about the ideas in the text.

Two Test Variations

• There are two tests with different question-answer formats.
• Test #1 has 20 questions that contain the "NOT" format. In this type of question-answer format, the student must identify three true statements from the possible answers and choose the answer that is NOT true.
• Test #2 has those same 20 questions written in a traditional format. In the possible answers, students are only looking for the true statements.
• I give an example of this for question No. 76 in the preview.
• Both tests are written in 2-column format. Test #1 is 13 pages, while Test #2 is 14 pages.
• BOTH tests contain the same questions.

Grade Level

• Designed to challenge high school students in 11th or 12th grades.
• For 9th and 10th grades, I would edit the test, reducing the number of questions and/or possibly reducing the number of possible answers to choose from. (The test does come in Word and is editable.) However, for a 10th-grade honors or advanced class, I would leave the test as is.

Answer Key

• The answer key is written in single column, taking up 20 pages.
• The correct answer is in bold for each question, which will make it easy for you to see the questions, all answers to choose from, as well as the correct answers.

Study Guide

• There are two study guides for you to choose from that help students prepare for the test, letting students know exactly what they need to know.
• Study Guide A, which is 7 pages, allows students to see the specific quotes from the text for which they need to identify figurative language.
• Study Guide B, which is 6 pages, does not allow the students to see the specific quotes ahead of time.
• You can choose which study guide will work best for your class.

Word and PDF

• All documents come in Word and in PDF; therefore, there are 92 total pages.
• All documents come in Word and are editable.
• In addition, I do have reading quizzes for this novel available in my store.

Test Length

• Average student about 45 to 50 minutes to complete
• Students who excel may complete it in 35 to 40 minutes.
