The geography curriculum standard for compulsory education explicitly requires the implementation of interdisciplinary thematic learning. To ensure the consistency of “teaching, learning, and assessment,” this paper clarifi es the connotation of interdisciplinary test questions against the backdrop of the new curriculum and elaborates on their signifi cance in cultivating core competencies, transforming the forms and logic of learning, and realizing the unique educational value of disciplines. Using practical examples, it illustrates the characteristics of such test questions, including disciplinary primacy, interdisciplinary integration, and proactive cross-disciplinary engagement. This paper also elaborates in detail on the key points for developing interdisciplinary geography test questions for junior high schools, covering procedures such as defi ning themes and content, selecting and processing materials, designing structured questions, formulating answer keys and scoring criteria, as well as revising and polishing test questions.
