This presentation talks about how to set an
English question paper and the top things to
keep in mind. And this is all you need to up the
quality of your English question paper and
improve its effectiveness. So, read in fu

3. 1.RELEVANT SYLLABUS
The first thing to consider while setting a
question paper is the syllabus. You can think of
the syllabus as the course material that has been
taught to the students. And ideally, your question
paper should contain questions only from that
course material.

4. 2. INCLUDE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF QUESTIONS
To check their memory, include fill-ups.
To test your students for higher-order learning,
include multiple-choice questions.
To check surface-level knowledge, including
True/False type questions.
To check their ability to elaborate on a topic,
include descriptive questions.
Define what you want to test the students for. And
accordingly, choose the question type:

5. 3. ALWAYS INCLUDE
IMPORTANT TOPICS
While creating English questions, make sure to
base your questionnaire on important topics.
This will help you determine whether or not the
students were able to grasp and remember the
important information properly. Also, including
important topics will help students prepare for
the finals.

6. 4. SET A DIFFICULTY
LEVEL
Your question paper shouldn’t contain difficult
or easy questions only. Instead, there should be
a perfect blend of easy and difficult questions.
This way, you’ll be able to assess and evaluate
both surface level and deeper knowledge of the
students.

7. 5. ADHERE TO THE
TIMELINE
If you want the students to finish the exam in 2
hours, set the exam accordingly. Decide the
number and difficulty of questions in a way that
students get ample time to read and write the
question paper. Otherwise, your students may
not be able to attempt all the questions which
can hinder their performance.

8. 6. BE FLEXIBLE
When setting the question paper, especially
while including descriptive questions, be
flexible.
Doing this will give more liberty to the students
and thus score better. Also, while grading the
test, you can ask why the students skipped the
question. And if you find that the students
weren’t clear about the concept that the
question was formed around, you can help them
with the same.
