1) Among standardized tests, which reveals strengths and weaknesses for purposes of placement and formulating an appropriate instructional program?

a) Personality tests

b) Achievement tests

c) Diagnostic tests

d) Competency tests

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: This question tests knowledge of different types of standardized tests and their purposes. Diagnostic tests are specifically designed to identify a student's strengths and weaknesses in particular areas, making them ideal for placement decisions and instructional planning. These tests provide detailed information about a student's knowledge and skills in specific domains, allowing educators to tailor instruction to individual needs. Achievement tests measure overall learning in broader areas, competency tests assess mastery of specific skills, and personality tests evaluate psychological traits. Among these, diagnostic tests are most suited for the described purpose of revealing specific strengths and weaknesses for educational planning.

2) If the threat of punishment is necessary on erring students, how should this best be done?

a) Make the threat and reinforce with a warning

b) Make the threat with immediate punishment

c) Warn and threaten at the same time

d) First a warning before the threat

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: This question examines effective disciplinary strategies. Providing a warning before a threat is a more effective approach, allowing students to correct their behavior without immediately resorting to punishment, thereby promoting self-regulation.

3) What does a skewed score distribution mean?

a) The mode, the mean, and the median are equal

b) The scores are concentrated more at one end or the other end

c) The mean and median are equal

d) The scores are normally distributed

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: A skewed score distribution indicates that the scores are not symmetrically distributed but are instead concentrated more heavily at one end of the spectrum, either on the left or the right. Therefore, the correct answer is "The scores are concentrated more at one end or the other end."


4) To what extent were the objectives of the course met? This is the concern of the process of _____ evaluation.

a) authentic

b) criterion-referenced

c) norm-referenced

d) formative

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: The correct answer is b] criterion-referenced. Criterion-referenced evaluation assesses the extent to which course objectives have been met based on specific criteria. Authentic, norm-referenced, and formative evaluations focus on different aspects of assessment.

5) What is the meaning of a negative correlation between amount of practice and number of errors in tennis?

a) The increase in the amount of practices does not at all affect the number of errors

b) As the amount of practice increases, the number of errors decreases

c) The decrease in the amount of practice sometimes affects the number of errors

d) Decrease in the amount of practice goes with decrease in the number of errors

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: This question tests understanding of correlation in statistics. A negative correlation between two variables means that as one variable increases, the other tends to decrease. In this case, a negative correlation between amount of practice and number of errors in tennis indicates that as the amount of practice increases, the number of errors tends to decrease. This is a logical relationship that reflects the general principle that practice tends to improve performance and reduce errors.

6) Which of the following method of evaluation was used by a student when he/she lets his/her classmates look at his/her work?

a) Tutorial

b) Class participation

c) Peer review

d) Dialogue

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: Peer review is the correct answer because it involves having classmates evaluate each other's work, providing feedback and insights. Tutorial implies one-on-one instruction, class participation involves engaging in classroom activities, and dialogue refers to an exchange of ideas.

7) In the context of the theory on multiple intelligence, one weakness of the paper-pencil test is that _____.

a) it utilizes so much time

b) it puts the non-linguistically intelligent at a disadvantage

c) it lacks reliability

d) it is not easy to administer

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The paper-pencil test lacks reliability in accurately assessing multiple intelligences as it predominantly measures linguistic and logical-mathematical skills, disadvantaging those strong in other intelligences. It is time-efficient and easy to administer.


8) Here is a test item:

a) Low-level

b) Evaluate

c) Analysis

d) Convergent

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The correct answer is c) Analysis. This question requires students to break down the statement, examine the components of the argument, and provide evidence to either support or refute the position. It goes beyond simple recall or understanding (low-level) and doesn't just ask for an evaluation without deeper examination. It's not convergent as it allows for multiple perspectives and arguments. Analysis questions require students to examine and break down information into parts, understand relationships between these parts, and use critical thinking to construct an argument.

9) Which of the following should be considered when creating multiple choice items?

a) The stem presents an unknown problem

b) The stem has irrelevant material

c) The stem and alternatives are on the same page

d) The alternatives are arranged in any order

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The correct answer is that the stem and alternatives should be on the same page to avoid confusion and ensure clarity. Presenting an unknown problem, including irrelevant material, and arranging alternatives in any order are not best practices.

10) Which is the most reliable tool of seeing the development in your pupils' ability to write?

a) portfolio assessment

b) scoring rubric

c) interview of pupils

d) self-assessment

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: Portfolio assessment provides a comprehensive view of a student's writing development over time through a collection of their work. Scoring rubrics, interviews, and self-assessments are useful but less comprehensive for tracking progress.

11) In a class, what does it mean when a student scored P90 on a given test?

a) The student scored lower than 90 percent of the class.

b) The student scored higher than 90 percent of the class.

c) The student scored 90 percent out of the total items.

d) The student scored 10 percent out of the total items.

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: This question assesses understanding of percentile ranks in test scoring. It requires knowledge of how to interpret percentile scores and what they represent in terms of a student's performance relative to their peers. This is important for educators in communicating student performance and making comparisons within a group.

12) An entering college would like to determine which course is best suited for him. Which test is appropriate for this purpose?

a) Aptitude test

b) Intelligence test

c) Achievement test

d) Diagnostic test

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: This question evaluates knowledge of different types of tests and their purposes. An aptitude test is most appropriate for determining which course is best suited for an entering college student. Aptitude tests assess a person's potential to learn or succeed in a particular field or area of study. They often measure abilities and skills that are relevant to future learning or performance. Intelligence tests measure general cognitive ability, achievement tests measure what has been learned, and diagnostic tests identify specific areas of strength or weakness. For course selection, an aptitude test provides the most relevant information about a student's potential in different academic areas.
