ISAT requires to answer extended responses questions. They require students to use real problem-solving skills to understand a situation and carry out an action plan. Using a four-quadrant chart allows students space to organize their thoughts. The four quadrant chart lays out the information that the student knows or is given, what the answer is, the way the student solves the problem, and why the student used those steps to solve the problem.
