achievement of students, evaluating the method of teaching adopted by the teacher and other
curricular program of the school. It is one of the most valuable instrument in the hands of the
teacher to solve his purpose. It is the major basis for evaluating the progress or performance of
the students in the classroom. The teacher therefore, had an obligation to provide their

To help teachers improve the quality of test items to write, the following are to be
considered:
1. Begin writing items far enough or in advance so that you will have time to
revise them.
2. Match item to intended outcomes at appropriate level of difficulty to provide
valid measure of instructional objectives. Limit the question to the skill being
assessed.
3. Be sure each item deals with an important aspect of the content area and not
with trivia.
4. Be sure the problem posed is clear and unambiguous.
5. Be sure that the item is independent with all other items. The answer to one
item should not be required as a condition in answering the next item. A hint
to one answer should not be embedded to another item.
6. Be sure the item has one or best answer on which experts would agree.
7. Prevent unintended clues to an answer in the statement or question.
Grammatical inconsistencies such as a or an give clues to the correct answer
to those students who are not well prepared for the test.
8. Avoid replication of the textbook in writing test items; do not quote directly
from the textual materials. You are usually not interested in how well students
memorize the text. Besides, taken out of context, direct quotes from the text
are often ambiguous.
9. Avoid trick or catch questions in an achievement test. Do not waste time
testing how well the students can interpret your intentions.
10. Try to write items that require higher-order thinking skills.
