This document provides guidelines for test administrators on orally administering STAAR assessments. It addresses ensuring the same test form is used, test security measures, grouping students, and what content can be read aloud for each subject area. Specific guidelines are given for reading aloud mathematics questions and notations, reading selections for reading tests, science equations and graphics, and social studies graphics and dates. Examples demonstrate reading test questions, answer choices, and graphics aloud according to the guidelines. Test administrators are to follow these standardized guidelines so that all oral administrations are provided consistently.
The document discusses matching type tests, which measure a learner's ability to identify relationships between sets of items. A matching type test presents two columns, with the first column (premises) numbered and the second column (responses) labeled with capital letters. It is effective for content with parallel concepts and can measure knowledge of terms and definitions, objects and labels, causes and effects, and other relationships. Advantages are objective measurement and comparing ideas, but it may overestimate learning due to guessing and be limited to lower understanding levels. The document provides rules for constructing matching type tests, such as putting more words in column A, arranging column B logically, using numbers for column A and letters for column B, and avoiding patterns in correct

The document discusses essay or subjective tests which assess students' ability to produce, integrate and express ideas through extended written responses. It describes two general types - unrestricted response questions that are open-ended, and restricted response questions that require answers within set criteria. Guidelines are provided for constructing effective essay questions based on Bloom's Taxonomy, as well as for grading responses consistently using a scoring rubric.
The document discusses essay questions as an assessment tool. It defines an essay question as requiring an examinee to compose a response in sentence form that cannot be judged as solely right or wrong and requires subjective evaluation. Effective essay questions require students to compose rather than select responses consisting of multiple sentences allowing for original answers. The document also discusses advantages and limitations of essay questions, how to construct them to clearly assess learning outcomes, and how to improve essay questions through review and revision.
The document provides information on different types of assessment tools:
1) Multiple choice tests, true/false tests, matching tests, completion tests, cloze tests, and essay tests. Advantages and disadvantages of each type are discussed.
2) Guidance is given on writing questions for each test type, including pointers on style, structure, and content.
3) References are provided on assessment and measuring student learning outcomes. The document aims to help in developing different assessment tools.

This document discusses research that will be conducted to analyze high school students' perceptions of their readiness for standardized writing assessments. A survey containing Likert-scale and open-ended questions will be administered to 100 eleventh-grade students to collect quantitative and qualitative data. The data will be analyzed using descriptive analysis for the quantitative data and grounded theory for the qualitative data to determine students' self-perceptions of their writing skills and how instruction could be improved.
This document discusses different types of tests used to assess educational ability. It describes survey battery tests, diagnostic tests, readiness tests, and cognitive ability tests. It provides examples of specific tests for each type, including the Stanford Achievement Test, Iowa Test of Basic Skills, Wide Range Achievement Test, and Cognitive Abilities Test. It also discusses the purposes of educational ability testing and considerations around their use and limitations.
This document provides an overview and instructions for administering the TABE Level L assessment. It discusses the purpose and structure of the TABE Level L, including the word list, pre-reading skills test, and reading skills test. It provides details on scoring procedures and determining appropriate placement based on student performance. Guidelines are also given for pre-testing students within the first months of class and post-testing after 4 months of instruction.
This document discusses various testing techniques for evaluating language skills. It begins by defining tests and explaining their importance for student and teacher feedback, administrative decisions, and curriculum development. It then outlines two major language areas to test - skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and components (pronunciation, spelling, vocabulary, grammar, punctuation). Twelve common test types are described in detail, along with their advantages and disadvantages: true/false, multiple choice, essay, completion, matching, table/map conversion, table/map filling, correction, dictation, cloze, rearrangement, and guided paragraph writing. Oral testing techniques like reading aloud, interviews, and picture descriptions are also discussed. The document emphasizes being creative and helping
Types of test items include essay type questions and objective type questions. Essay type questions can be long answer or short answer. Long answer questions allow for free organization and expression but have limitations like subjectivity in scoring. Short answer questions limit the response but have better scoring objectivity. Objective type questions ensure objective scoring and include simple recall questions, completion questions, alternate response questions, and multiple choice questions. These question types test different skills and have guidelines for effective creation and administration.
Objective type tests items - Merits and Demerits || merits and Demerits of ob...Samir (G. Husain)
This document presents information on objective type tests, including their definition, types, merits, and demerits. Objective type tests measure characteristics independently of rater bias and require predetermined correct answers. There are two main types: recall and recognition. Merits include objectivity and preventing subjectivity, while demerits include limiting depth of knowledge and increased chance of guessing. The concept of negative marking is introduced to reduce guessing by deducting points for incorrect answers. In conclusion, while all test items have merits and demerits, objective tests introduce less subjectivity than other types.
- Armstrong and Hiesiger conducted an observational study over 14 weeks to evaluate math assessments and student performance at the Marion Shadd Workforce Development Site.
- They found that the CASAS entrance exam had too low of a passing score, was too focused on certain math types, and students were passing by guessing. The CASAS Level-Set also focused too little on computational questions.
- Pre- and post-TABE scores increased for all students receiving math assistance, suggesting such assistance improves retention and success. Most students needed help with CASAS prep and fractions, decimals, and percentages. Consistent students preferred one-on-one workshops on Mondays through Wednesdays from 3-5PM.
Power point for the techniques for constructing exam itemsWilliam Kapambwe
The document discusses techniques for constructing examination questions and assessing student learning. It covers constructing objective test items like multiple choice and matching, as well as subjective items like short answer and essays. Tips are provided for writing different item types and ensuring item-objective congruence. A variety of assessment options for different learning domains and continuous assessment techniques are also outlined.
This document provides an overview of subjective tests, which require students to write out original answers in response to questions. It focuses on short answer questions and essay tests. Short answer questions are open-ended questions that require brief responses to assess basic knowledge. Essay tests allow for longer written responses to assess higher-level thinking. Both have advantages like measuring complex learning, but also disadvantages like subjectivity and difficulty in scoring responses. The document provides guidance on constructing effective short answer questions and essay prompts to reduce subjectivity.
This type of test differs from the completion test in degree rather than in kind. Essays usually allow greater freedom response to questions and require more writing.
This document discusses different types of test items that can be used to assess students, including matching, multiple choice, and essay questions. For matching questions, students match items in column A to column B. Multiple choice questions consist of a stem and a blank for the answer. Essay questions allow students to organize their thoughts on a subject and are used to assess higher-order thinking skills. When using essay questions, teachers should provide keywords, grading criteria, and a time limit to focus students' responses. It also recommends that teachers grade all answers to one question before moving to the next and do so without knowing the identity of the student.
The document discusses different types of test items, including true/false, multiple choice, essay, and short answer items. It provides advantages and disadvantages of each type. For true/false items, it lists rules for constructing effective items, such as basing statements on absolute truths and avoiding double negatives. Guidelines are provided for using different item types, like using multiple choice when wanting to test breadth of learning or having limited scoring time. Essay items are best when wanting to evaluate a test taker's ability to formulate answers or apply concepts to new situations.
Essay questions can measure higher-order thinking skills and writing ability. They allow for open-ended responses aligned with learning objectives. While scoring can be time-consuming and subjective, essay questions eliminate guessing and can effectively cover content with fewer questions. When writing essay questions, teachers should clearly define the task, suggest a time or page limit, decide what they are looking for in responses, and provide a scoring system or model answer. Good essay questions ask students to explain, compare, classify, predict effects, or synthesize multiple sources.
The document provides guidelines for constructing effective tests to assess student learning. It discusses considering the purpose of the test and maintaining consistency between teaching goals, methods, and assessment. Different test formats like multiple choice, short answer, and essays are appropriate for different learning objectives. Multiple choice tests effectively measure recall but less higher-order thinking, while essays best evaluate skills like analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The document also offers tips for writing different question types, grading essays reliably, helping students prepare, and assessing how well the test measured intended learning outcomes.

Taking the SAT earlier in a student's high school career provides several benefits for their college application. It allows students to submit multiple scores so they can choose the highest scores to send to colleges. Early testing also enables students to apply early decision or action and potentially get access to campus visits, scholarships, and special programs. Some top universities offer exceptional summer programs for middle and high schoolers, but strong SAT scores are usually required to gain admission to these programs. Overall, testing earlier leaves senior year open for other activities and reduces the need to cram for the SAT that year.

The SAT is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. The SAT is a multiple-choice, pencil-and-paper test created and administered by the College Board
The purpose of the SAT is to measure a high school student's readiness for college, and provide colleges with one common data point that can be used to compare all applicants. College admissions officers will review standardized test scores alongside your high school GPA, the classes you took in high school, letters of recommendation from teachers or mentors, extracurricular activities, admissions interviews, and personal essays. How important SAT scores are in the college application process varies from school to school.
The document provides reasons why more students are taking the ACT exam instead of the SAT. It notes that in 2016 the SAT shifted its focus to testing college and career readiness, which has always been the ACT's focus. It also states that the ACT surveys thousands of educators to ensure it continually measures the skills needed for college courses, while the SAT relies on a smaller group of experts. Additionally, the ACT is the only exam that includes a science section and score.

College entrance exams: do they really count?Poonam Kherde
The document discusses the debate around the importance of college entrance exams. While some colleges have reduced emphasis on standardized test scores like the SAT and ACT, others still consider them heavily, especially for out-of-state and highly competitive schools. Entrance exams are less important for in-state public universities but remain critical for graduate programs. The significance of test scores varies between institutions, so students should check admission requirements and prepare early if exams are an important factor. A well-rounded application considers more than just entrance exam results.
1) The document provides information about an upcoming meeting for juniors to discuss the Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE), ACT prep courses, goal setting, and frequently asked questions about the ACT.

1. What is the Difference Between ACT, SAT And PSAT?
If you’re working towards graduating from high school, you probably know that your scores on
standardized tests can significantly impact your capability to get admitted to your college of
choice. Nevertheless, because there are numerous choices – including PSAT, SAT, and ACT, it
might be challenging to decide which standardized test you should take. This is true because all
these tests have a few things that are common.
This article explores differences between ACT vs. SAT vs. PSAT that learners should know
regarding these tests.
WHAT IS THE ACT?
ACT is the acronym for American College Testing. ACT is an entry exam administered to
students to assess their readiness to join college. Universities and colleges review the students’
test scores in order to determine their ability to perform well in school.
Moreover, ACT serves as a contrast point between various college applicants. Because ACT is
standardized, colleges and universities can utilize them to determine how learners measure up
against each other when making a decision on who to admit.
WHAT ARE THE FOUR SECTIONS OF THE ACT?
The ACT test has four major sections and one optional section. These main sections consist of:
2. Science
Reading
Math
English
Students can decide to do an optional essay writing test section. This enables colleges to learn
more about the writing abilities of the student.
HOW LONG IS THE ACT TEST?
The ACT exam is 2 hours and 55 long. However, it can take 3 hours and 35 minutes if the
student decides to participate in the essay writing section.
HOW IS THE ACT SCORED?
Each section of the ACT exam is scored utilizing a 1-to-36-point scale. 36 is the highest possible
score in every section. Besides, the four major section scores are averaged in order to come up
with the composite ACT score of the student. In case a learner participates in the essay writing
section, he or she will get a separate 1 to 36 score for that part.
WHEN SHOULD YOU TAKE THE ACT?
Many learners take the ACT examination during the spring of their junior year in high school
and the fall of their senior year in high school. A student can participate in the ACT examination
again if he or she isn’t excited about his first score as a junior.
Nevertheless, that does not mean that a student can only do the ACT exam during those
periods. Younger learners are permitted to participate in the ACT examination, and senior high
schoolers can take the test past their last year in high school.
The ACT test is offered countrywide in February, April, June, July, September, October, and
December. Nevertheless, not all exam centers provide the same dates; hence your learner will
determine what is offered locally early to ensure that they get their grades early.
WHAT IS THE SAT?
SAT stands for Scholastic Assessment Test. This test was initially called the Scholastic Aptitude
Test. Similar to the ACT, SAT is designed to determine the readiness of the learner for higher
studies and to develop an easy way of comparing the abilities of students in order to decide
who is to be admitted.
HOW MANY SECTIONS ARE IN THE SAT?
The SAT exam is categorized into two parts and an elective section. The two main parts consist
of:
English
3. Math
Similar to the ACT, SAT has an optional essay section that showcases the writing abilities of the
student.
HOW LONG IS THE SAT?
The SAT exam takes 3 hours. If you opt to participate in an elective essay, the examination will
take 3 hours and 50 minutes.
HOW IS THE SAT SCORED 2021?
Every SAT section gets a score. The minimum scores a learner can earn in each section is 200,
and the highest score is 800. The main score of the student combines English and Math scores,
creating a total between 400 and 1600.
If a student does the essay section, they will get a separate score for that section based on the
200 to 800-point scale.
IS 1100 A GOOD SAT SCORE?
4. A score of 1100 is better than average. It put the student in the top 59th percentile
countrywide out of the students who participate in the SAT entrance examination. The SAT
score shows that you have performed to some extent above-average answering quizzes on the
English and Math section of the test.
IS 1200 A GOOD SAT SCORE?
Yes. A score of 1200 is good. It places a learner in the top 76th percentile countrywide out of
the test-takers of the SAT test.
WHEN SHOULD YOU TAKE THE SAT?
Many learners take the SAT as seniors in the fall and juniors during the spring. Through this,
students have an opportunity to give at least two attempts and still get their grades in time for
college or university applications.
Nevertheless, some learners take the SAT early or later in their high school careers; there are
no explicit score-graded requirements to be eligible for the examination.
The SAT exam is done in March, May, June, August, October, November, and December across
the United States.
WHAT IS THE PSAT?
PSAT stands for Preliminary SAT. This is not a college entrance examination. It is employed in
preparing learners for the SAT or ACT examination, basically providing them with an
opportunity to experience the same test. Additionally, it’s a National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying Test. Learners who do well in this test can get money for college for just attaining a
high grade.
WHO TAKES THE PSAT TEST?
PSAT test is taken by 11th grade and some 10th-grade students.
HOW MANY SECTIONS ARE IN THE PSAT?
The PSAT test has two major sections, which include:
English
Math
HOW LONG IS THE PSAT EXAM?
The examination takes 2 hours and 45 minutes long in total.
HOW IS THE PSAT SCORE CALCULATED?
Every section on the PSAT exam is scored on a 160- to 760-point scale. Scores in every section
are summed together, with the highest possible score being 1520.
5. WHEN SHOULD YOU TAKE THE PSAT?
In many instances, juniors or sophomores participate in the PSAT exam. The examination is only
taken once annually, in October, and the school of the student usually decides on the classes
that are qualified to take part.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACT VS. SAT?
If you are wondering what is the difference between SAT and ACT, the most apparent
differentiator is ACT’s science section. Nevertheless, there are other aspects where these two
examinations are not exactly the same.
For instance, the SAT examination depends more on evidence, including multi-step problem-
solving and content-based questions as compared to the ACT. Some learners might feel that the
ACT exam is easier to find out what the quizzes are asking for. However, this does not mean the
questions are more straightforward to answer since they assess similar skills during the SAT.
Regarding content, both SAT vs. ACT are remarkably the same. Additionally, the examinations
take almost the same amount to finish, and they utilize similar formats, depending heavily on
multiple-choice with only a few exemptions outside of the essay sections.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PSAT AND SAT?
The main difference between PSAT and SAT is the intention of the examination. SAT exam is
designed to help students get a scholarship, while the PSAT is intended to prepare learners for
the SAT examination. The main goal of SAT is determining the readiness of a student for
college.
IS THE PSAT HARDER THAN THE SAT
No. The PSAT exam is easier compared to the SAT, and this is reflected in the scores.
SHOULD I TAKE THE SAT OR ACT BASED ON MY PSAT SCORE?
The similarity between ACT and PSAT scores can be used in determining whether you ought to
focus on preparing for the ACT or SAT. Although many learners score comparably, most
learners prefer taking one test over the other. Presently, there is no certified, direct
concordance between the ACT and the PSAT.
ACT VS. SAT VS. PSAT: WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU TAKE
6. Basically, learners ought to always participate in the PSAT test. It enables them to find out how
college entrance examinations look like and can assist them in getting a scholarship.
Additionally, it is not utilized as a part of college admission; hence there is no risk associated
with participating in the test, even if they score low grades.
Since colleges consider SAT and ACT as being the same, students can utilize scores from either
in their application process. Nevertheless, because the tests are not exactly the same, it is not
bad for learners to participate in the two examinations once.
Ensure that your learner considers the writing examinations. Although not all colleges need
them, some do; hence it’s crucial to have a score available in case it’s required. Additionally, it
might assist your teen in standing out from other candidates, possibly increasing the chances
that they will get into their chosen school.
Lastly, PSAT, SAT, and ACT all play significant roles, hence motivating the student to consider
them as they prepare to join college.
