How to Use This Item Pool to assess. “K” means Knowledge Level, roughly corresponding to the
“knowledge” and “comprehension” levels as defined in Bloom’s taxonomy. “A”
means Application and Higher Level, referring to the “application” and higher
levels. This two-level classification of items is only meant to be a summative
LAMS indicator of the characteristics of the items and not to be a rigorous academic
exercise.
This Item Pool is a product of LAMS project.* A group of Ethiopian experts
have developed the question items stored in this Item Pool. For What Purposes You Can Use This Item Pool
Good Items This Item Pool is a collection of “good” items. It can be used for following
purposes:
The purpose of this Item Pool is to make a collection of “good” question items
freely available for teachers and educators throughout the country. The items 1. To compile term or year-end tests
are “good” because the experts (item writers) wrote them strictly following the
guidelines and peer-reviewed them several times. Some of the items were You can compile term or year-end tests selecting items from this Item Pool
further field-tested on primary school students to ensure that the items have appropriate for your purposes and students’ level of performance.
statistically acceptable quality as well. At the final stage, all items were
rigorously reviewed and selected by representatives of the Ethiopian experts. 2. To compile unit-end tests
Only those items with satisfactory quality have been selected for this Item Pool.
At the end of each unit, you may give a test to students to see how well they have
Coverage understood the contents of the unit. Such unit-end tests can be easily compiled
using this Item Pool since it is organized unit-wise and according to the

Units as specified in the syllabus. It has also developed Sample Item Pools for
Grades 4 and 10, covering only two Units each. 3. To give exercise problems to the students in the lesson
About the Items This Item Pool contains a full range of basic question items that are suitable for
students to work on after the teacher’s initial explanation. You can pick up such
In the Pool, one item is indicated in one row. Each row has 10 columns: from basic-level question items and use them in your lesson to complement the

produced the Item Pools for Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics for Grades 7 and 8 (and samples for
Grades 4 and 10). The LAMS project also developed the Workbooks of the same subjects for Grades 7 and 8.
