1. What is the first step in planning an achievement test?
A. Select the type of test items to use.
B. Decide on the length of the test.
C. Define the instructional objectives.
D. Construct a table of specifications.
You may be tempted to answer C - Define the instructional objectives - because objectives are always prioritized in the world of teaching. However, notice that the question does not talk about providing instruction. Rather, it talks about test construction.
Be careful. Always consider the main thought of the whole option, not just a word or two.
The answer for this item is D - Construct a table of specifications. Remember that TOS's are very important in the process of constructing tests. It is the "first step."
Now, let's talk about options A and B. Both A and B are processes involved in the construction of a table of specifications.
TEST-TAKING SKILLS:
[!] Be careful about words that were slipped into the options to confuse you.
[!] Eliminate options that are under the umbrella of another option.
[!] Usually, umbrella options are the correct answers.
2. Standard deviation is to variability as mean is to _.
A. Discrimination
B. Level of Difficulty
C. Correlation
D. Central Tendency
There are three ways of measuring a data's central tendency. First, we have the mean. The other two are median and mode. Obviously, the answer is option D.
Now, let's discuss options A, B and C. Options A and B are very similar. Isn't it that we have two things to consider in an item analysis - the discriminatory index and the level/index of difficulty? You don't need any choice that is the same with another option. Eliminate such options.
Correlation, on the other hand, can be measured using special mathematical fomulae like the Pearson R. Mean can never determine the correlation of two sets of data.
TEST-TAKING SKILLS:
[!] Eliminate similar options.
[!] Know the definition of important terms.
3. Which characteristic of a good test will pupil be assured when a teacher constructs a table of specification for test construction purposes?
A. Scorability
B. Reliability
C. Economy
D. Content Validity
Reliability refers to the consistency of test outcomes across populations. One of the important things that a test must have to be have consistency is validity. Validity must first be achieved before reliability.
All tests are scorable. It is only that different types of tests have different levels of scorability. Essays are less scorable than multiple-choice tests; this is why essays usually need rubrics. No matter how good a teacher is in constructing TOS's, the scorability of a type of test doesn't change.
Economy, when it comes to test construction, is the lack of need to spend too much to administer and examination. We don't get economy from tables of specification; it is a matter of experience and technique for the teacher.
The answer is option D.
TEST-TAKING SKILLS:
[!] Know all characteristics of a good test and their differences.
