"Art 1" Pre-Test

I've seen several posts lately with people asking what kind of assessment they should be using in an Art 1 type of class. Last year I decided to give a pre-test the first week of school with information that would be covered in all of the 1st semester boot camps. I used my planning notes to come up with the questions and gave the same test to students for their final in December. Since I was able to use an extension to have the internet grade for me (now Google Forms has a quiz setting so it's even easier) it was super easy to compare pre and post test scores which became a piece of evidence for my evaluation.

I'm planning to tweak the questions for my new school year plans and give it again.
