The questions included in the sustainability literacy assessment(s) :
We used the Sustainability Literacy Assessment Test which randomly selects 50 multiple choice questions. A description of these questions can be found at http://www.sustainabilitytest.org/
According to the Sustainability Test website, "2/3rds [of the questions] are related to Supra/International level (ie. global warming) and 1/3rd [of the questions are] linked to national/regional level (i.e. local regulations and laws, culture and practices)."
The Sustainability Literacy Test website does not publish test questions that are open to the public, so we are unable to comply with the STARS requirement to provide questions used in the sustainability literacy assessment. To view the questions, please sign up to register for the exam.
