1. A test should be time-efficient, both in terms of test administration and

scoring. Lengthy tests can be burdensome for test-takers and those
administering the test, which may affect their willingness to participate and
the overall accuracy of the results.

(The principle of assessment described in number one is "practically," as it

emphasizes the necessity of being time-efficient in test administration and scoring.
This ensures that the process is manageable and minimizes stress for both
test-takers and administrators.)

2. A test must accurately and faithfully represent the real-world knowledge,

skills, or abilities it aims to assess. A test should closely resemble the tasks,
situations, or contexts that individuals encounter in their daily lives or in the
specific domain being evaluated.

(The principle of assessment described in number two is "authenticity," which

highlights the importance of designing tests that closely resemble real-world tasks
and situations to effectively evaluate knowledge and abilities.)

3. A test must have an impact or influence on teaching, learning, and the

curriculum. When a test exerts a significant influence on these educational
aspects, it is said to have a strong effect.

(The principle of assessment described in number three is "washback," which

pertains to the impact of tests on students' outcomes. In terms of how students
prepare for exams, as it shapes the teaching process, a test can effectively encourage
students to be more attentive in class and prepare for it.)

4. A test accurately assesses the skill or ability it claims to measure. This is a

critical aspect of test quality because if a test lacks it, the results and
inferences drawn from them may be inaccurate or misleading.

(The principle of assessment described in number four is "validity," which states

that the test must possess the capability to accurately measure and evaluate a
student’s abilities. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the test accurately
measures the specific ability it claims to assess. If a test is deemed invalid, it implies
that the test results may not accurately reflect the expected measured
characteristic.)
