Information about the CAE and some useful tips how to practice. The information is taken from the Cambridge English Advanced handbook for teachers (http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/images/cambridge-english-advanced-handbook-2015.pdf)
Chapter 6 is based on using guidelines to keep in mind for teachers as they create their own test items. The information presented in my opinion were very useful and can certainly be referenced.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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”.

3. Introduction
“To be able to prepare a good test, one has
to have a mastery of the subject matter,
knowledge of the pupils to be tested, and
the use of the different test format”
Evaluating Educational Outcomes
(Oriondo & Antonio)
7. Number test questions continuously.
Keep your test question in each test group uniform.
Make your layout presentable with a good face
validity
Do not put too many test questions in one test group.
True or False: 1-5 questions
Multiple Choice: max. of 5 questions
Matching type: 5 questions per test group
Others: 1-5 questions
8. 1. Avoid humorous items. Classroom testing is very
important and humorous items may cause students
to either not take the exam seriously or become
confused or even anxious.
2. Write items to measure what students know, not
what they do not know. (Cohen & Wallack)
9.
10. Multiple Choice Test
When checking the stems for correctness:
• Ensure that the stem asks a clear question.
• Reading level is appropriate to the students.
• The stem is grammatically correct.
• Negatively stated stems are discouraged.
11. 1. Use negatively stated stems sparingly and
when using negatives such as NOT,
underline or bold the print.
2. Use none of the above and all of the above
sparingly, and when you do use them,
don't always make them the right
answer.
3. Only one option should be correct or
clearly best.
12. 4. All options should be homogenous and nearly
equal in length.
5. The stem (question) should contain only one
main idea.
6. Keep all options either singular or plural.
13. 7. When using incomplete statements place the blank
space at the end of the stem versus the beginning
,but if you have to, that’s ok.
8. When possible organize the responses.
9. Reduce wordiness.
10. When writing distracters, think of incorrect
responses that students might make.
14. Guidelines for Writing Matching Items
Provide clear instructions on how to indicate the correct answers.
Indicate whether the same response can be used more than once.
Maintain grammatical consistency within and between columns.
within a column: either sentence or point form
between columns: one or the other
Ensure that any matching question appears entirely on one page.
15. Provide an unequal number of premises and
responses
reduces guessing and elimination
increases measure of comprehension
Avoid designing questions which require students to
draw lines between premise and response.
confusing for student and marker
provide space for letter or number answers
16. Make sure lists are homogeneous.
i.e., do not include items testing names, dates, and events.
Instead, make every response plausible
Make the wording of the premises longer than the
wording of the responses.
Identify the items in one list with numbers and those
in the second list with letters.
18. How to give listening test
First, ask the students to read the questions
(in Persian)
Tell them you are going to play the audio twice
Ask them to listen first and then take note
Give them time to answer the questions
Have a variety of questions
( both multiple choice and blank) NOT true or false
19. In multiple choice questions the responses could be
three instead of four
keep the language of the options simple
The audio should be in a right level.
The questions should be both general and detail
Make sure the player works well and everybody can
hear the audio.
22. First, ask the students general questions e.g. their
names, hometown, free time, etc
Then ask them some questions related to the theme of
the lesson(s) and grammar of the lesson(s)
Communicate with them. DON’T just interview them
23. You can make an inegrative test by combining listening
and speaking.
The test should be conducted individually NOT in class.
Or role-play which must be done by two.
Tell the students that you expect them to talk in their
level ( probably Elementary)
25. Cover most vocabularies of both the course
book and the workbook
Have a variety of questions
There is only one clear answer and the stem
is clear too.
Try to give more context than just a
sentence
26. Vocabulary test is NOT a grammar test. The test should
not have a lot of syntactic load.
Spelling mistake does NOT count here. Take it easy
28. Have a variety of questions
There is only one clear answer
Cover all grammatical points IN the book
If there is a spelling section to test the spelling of the
words, DO NOT count the other spelling mistakes
in other sections
30. Choose a text in an appropriate level
Time should be enough. One minute for each question
Modify the questions if needed
Having two texts having two questions each is much
better than having one text with four questions.
The passages are neither short nor long.
31. Some tips on item writing
Do not write items for which the correct response can be
found without understanding the text.
Do not write items that some candidates are likely to
answer from general knowledge without reading the text.
Make the items independent of each other; do not make
the correct response on one item depend on another item
being responded to correctly.
33. Choose a text in an appropriate level
Ensure that the first sentence does NOT have a blank
Distractors are really WRONG
Cloze test is NOT just a vocabulary test
As teachers you can modify the distractors
