Art Making accounts for about 64%, and Historical and Theoretical Foundations accounts for about 36%.
Art Making is the largest ETS category at about 76 questions, or 64% of the exam. HiraEdu study sessions emphasize elements of art, principles of design, two-dimensional and three-dimensional media, media properties, process vocabulary, tool safety, problem solving, and recognizing processes from reproductions.
The Historical and Theoretical Foundations category makes up about 44 questions, or 36% of the exam. Candidates should review materials and processes in historical context, Western art history, art beyond the Western tradition, critical reactions, interpretation, cultural context, meaning, and how visual evidence supports a response.
Because ETS includes images with some questions, candidates need fast visual analysis habits. Prep should pair vocabulary with works, movements, media, composition clues, process indicators, and comparative language so candidates can identify what an image shows before choosing an answer.
