Achievement test - Teacher Made Test and Standardized Test - Characteristics, Steps in Construction (blueprint) and Standardization, Types of Test Items - objective, short answer and long answer- its merits and demerits.
Achievement tests are designed to measure the knowledge and skills students learned in school or to determine the academic progress they have made over a period of time. The tests may also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a schools and teachers, or identify the appropriate academic placement for a student—i.e., what courses or programs may be deemed most suitable, or what forms of academic support they may need. Achievement tests are “backward-looking” in that they measure how well students have learned what they were expected to learn.
“The type of ability test that describes what a person has learned to do is called an achievement test”.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

• Their results indicate student achievement in
relation to the instructions provided in a school.
8. Difference Between Teacher- Made
and Standardized Achievement Test
Teacher- Made Test
1. Prepared by teachers who
may not know very well the
principles of test
construction.
2. Often prepared hurriedly
and haphazardly to be able
to meet the deadline for
administration.
3. Given only to a class or
classes for which the tests
are intended. Usually no
norms are computed.
Standardized Test

know very well the principles
of test construction.
2. Prepared very carefully
following accepted principles
of test construction Teacher-
Made Tests
3. Given to a large portion of the
population for which they are
intended for the computation
of norms.
9. Difference Between Teacher- Made
and Standardized Achievement Test
Teacher- Made Test
4. Not subjected to any statistical
procedures to determine their
validity and reliability.
5. Maybe objective and may be
essay in which case scoring is
subjective.
6. Have no norms unless the
teacher computes the median,
mean and other measures for
comparison and interpretation.
7. Generally measure subject
achievement only.
Standardized Test
4. Generally correlated with other
tests of known validity and
reliability or with measures such
as school marks to determine
their validity and reliability.
5. Highly objective
6. Have their norms computed for
purposes of comparison and
interpretation.

Validity is the
quality of a test
which measures
what it is suppose
to measure
It is a degree to which
evidence, common
sense, or theory
supports any
interpretations or
conclusion about a
student based on
his/her test
performance
Characteristics of Achievement Test
15. accurate judgement of what a student
knows, understands and can do.
Objectivity is rooted in observable facts
and evidence rather than feelings or

Frame questions in such a way that their language is
simple, clear and within the comprehension level of
students.
Questions should measure useful learning outcomes.
They should be of varying difficulty level and at the
same time discriminating adequately between bright
and poor student.
Before selecting questions for the questions paper,
each and every question must be discussed
thoroughly in a group of experts.
30. 5. Preparation of
Question Paper
oked,
After writing the questions, they need to be relo
modified and finalized into a question paper. The
following should be done:
Write general instructions clearly
The instruction should be specific depends on subjects
Any specific or related to particular question should be
written before the question
Questions can be arranged according to form of
questions, instructional objectives, content units,
difficulty level or according to the convenience of
administration in the examination.
Arrangement of question should be such that it
facilitates the examinees as well as the evaluation
process.

Before printing a committee of experts reviews two
sets of question paper which have been finalized
earlier. These are examined from various angles
and finally one set is selected.
35. Standardization of Achievement Test
As in the construction of an achievement test, the
design and blue print may be prepared to ensure
face-validity and content-validity.
The pilot test or preliminary test is tried on the
sample, and the scripts are valued or scored.
The next step is item-analysis
36. Item-analysis
• Here Bad items are eliminated and good items
are retained.
• A good item is one which is attempted
successfully by 50% children.
• A good item must discriminate between superior
children and backward children.
• Suppose an item is successfully answered by all
children, that item is a bad item with no
discrimination power
37. Objective Type Question
(Selection Type Question)
In selected type questions, students are supported to
answer the question by selecting the correct answer
among the provided choices. These are divided into
1. True/false type
2. Fill in the blank type
3. Matching type
4. Multiple choice type questions
Objective type questions have only one correct answer
which the student has to choose out of the given
choices. As these questions can be marked
objectively, they are called objective type questions.
