Post Test

1. Explain the significance of preparing a table of specs.

- To achieve balance in the test and to identify the achievement domais being measured and to
ensure that our test focuses on the most important areas.
2. Expound on the advantage of preparing a two-way table over a one-way table of specs?
- The two-way table reveals that the test measures more higher-order-thinking skills (HOTS)
- assure the teacher that a particular test will measure a representative sample of learning
outcomes and the content to be covered
3. Enumerate the standards in writing items for tests. Explain.

a) The test item should match the desired learning outcome. It should measure the behavior
content of an instructional objective.
b) There should be only one correct or best answer that experts generally agree. Avoid answers
that need a lot of argumentation or debate.
c) The language used in all the items should be simple, clear, and definite.
d) The test items should present a clear and definite task. No ambiguous term should be used.
e) The test items should follow acceptable rules of grammar. Correct usage, proper use of
capitalization and punctuation marks should be observed. Subject - verb agreement must be
correct.
f) All items of the same type should be grouped together. All true-false items should be grouped
together, so too with multiple-choice items.
g) The test items should be arranged from the easiest to the most difficult. If easy items are
placed at the beginning of a test, the students are motivated to answer the next succeeding
items.
h) More items than actually needed must be prepared. Extra items can replace discarded items
during review and editing process.
i) A scoring key or key to correction should be prepared. It avoids pattern clue to the correct
answers. Ambiguous items can be detected.
j) Test items should be prepared in advance. They should be subjected to review and editing for
clarity and conciseness
