1) What is the mean of this score distribution: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10?

a) 7

b) 6

c) 8.5

d) 7.5

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The correct answer is a] 7. The mean is calculated by adding all the scores (4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 49) and dividing by the number of scores (7), resulting in 7. The other options do not reflect this correct calculation.

2) A test consists of a graph showing the relationship between age and population. Follow a series of true-false items based on the graph. Which type of test does this illustrate?

a) Laboratory exercise

b) Problem solving

c) Performance

d) Interpretative

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: An interpretative test requires students to analyze and draw conclusions from data, such as a graph. This type of test assesses students' ability to understand and interpret information, rather than simply recalling facts. Therefore, the correct answer is "Interpretative."

3) Teacher B discovered that her pupils are weak in comprehension. To further determine in which particular skills her pupils are weak which test should Teacher B give?

a) Aptitude Test

b) Placement Test

c) Diagnostic Test

d) Standardized Test

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: A diagnostic test is designed to identify specific weaknesses in students' skills, making it the appropriate choice for determining particular comprehension skills. An aptitude test measures potential, a placement test determines the appropriate level of instruction, and a standardized test compares students' performance against a norm.


4) It is the difference between the highest and lowest score.

a) Range

b) Standard Deviation

c) Quartile Deviation

d) Semi-inter quartile Range

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The range is the simplest measure of variability and is calculated by subtracting the lowest score from the highest score in a distribution. Therefore, the correct answer is "Range."

5) Other than finding out how well the course competencies were met, Teacher Kathy also wants to know her students’ performance when compared with other students in the country. What is Teacher Kathy interested to do?

a) Formative evaluation

b) Authentic evaluation

c) Norm-referenced evaluation

d) Criterion-referenced evaluation

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The correct answer is c] Norm-referenced evaluation. Norm-referenced evaluation compares students' performance to that of other students nationally, providing a context for their achievement. Formative, authentic, and criterion-referenced evaluations serve different purposes and do not focus on national comparisons.

6) Which type of assessment is primarily used to identify students' strengths and weaknesses before instruction begins, to help teachers tailor their teaching strategies accordingly?

a) Formative

b) Summative

c) Diagnostic

d) Placement

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: Diagnostic assessment is designed to identify students' existing knowledge, skills, and areas needing improvement before instruction starts. It provides insights into students' strengths and weaknesses, enabling teachers to adapt their teaching methods to better meet individual needs. This is distinct from formative assessments, which are conducted during instruction to monitor progress, and summative assessments, which evaluate learning at the end of an instructional period. Placement assessments are used to determine the appropriate level or course for students to begin.

7) A student with a percentile score of 80 means that the student scored _____.

a) higher than 80% of the members of the group

b) better, relative to the competencies targeted

c) high in all the skills being tested

d) 80% of the specified content

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: A percentile score of 80 indicates that the student performed better than 80% of the group. This does not necessarily mean they scored high in all skills, achieved 80% of the content, or performed relative to specific competencies, but rather how their performance compares to others.


8) The test questions in Teacher DaeDae's test were confusing and subject to wrong understanding, especially to poorer students. What was wrong with the test?

a) Inappropriate level of difficult of items

b) Unclear directions

c) Ambiguity

d) Test items inappropriate for outcomes being measured

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: This question evaluates understanding of test design principles. The main issue described in the scenario is ambiguity in the test questions. When questions are confusing and subject to misunderstanding, especially for certain groups of students, it indicates that the questions are ambiguous. Ambiguity in test items can lead to inconsistent interpretations and unfair assessments, particularly disadvantaging students who may already struggle with the material. While the other options (inappropriate difficulty, unclear directions, and misaligned items) can also be problems in test design, the description most closely matches the issue of ambiguity.

9) Scoring guides for rating open-ended questions are called _____.

a) outputs

b) outcomes

c) rubrics

d) scales

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: Rubrics are scoring guides for open-ended questions, providing criteria for evaluation. Outputs and outcomes refer to results, while scales measure levels of performance or frequency.

10) Janice in Grade Vi has a percentile rank of 90 in achievement test in language. This mean that ________

a) The scores Janice’s obtained was as high as the scores made by 90% of the pupils to whom the test was give.

b) Eighty-nine pupils obtained scores lower than what Janice obtained.

c) 90 percent of the sixth graders obtained scores higher than Janice.

d) In the class of 100 sixth graders Janice is 90th from the top.

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: The correct answer is b] Eighty-nine pupils obtained scores lower than what Janice obtained. A percentile rank of 90 means that Janice scored better than 90% of the students who took the test.

11) A high negative discrimination index means that:

a) More from the top group answered the test question correctly

b) More from the middle group answered the test question correctly

c) More from the bottom group answered the test question correctly

d) Majority answered the test question correctly

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: This question tests knowledge of item analysis in test construction, specifically the interpretation of the discrimination index. Understanding this concept is crucial for educators in evaluating the quality of test items and improving assessment tools.

12) Teacher B discovered that her pupils are weak in comprehension. To further determine in which particular skills her pupils are weak which test should Teacher B give?

a) Aptitude Test

b) Placement Test

c) Diagnostic Test

d) Standardized Test

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: A diagnostic test is designed to identify specific weaknesses in students' skills, making it the appropriate choice for determining particular comprehension skills. An aptitude test measures potential, a placement test determines the appropriate level of instruction, and a standardized test compares students' performance against a norm.
