Written Lecture
Test Taking
Dr. Carolyn D. Corliss
Certain specifications should be outlined when professors prepare a test so
that they are relevant to the instruction. First, professors should use test and
assessment specification as a guide. Simply put, the conditions of the test and
assessment should describe the performance needed to be measured along
with what learning outcomes to measure. Second, each test item and
assessment task should be written so the task to be performed is clearly
defined, and it measures the performance described in the intended learning
outcome. If a test is written with clarity and simplicity, avoiding unnecessary
wording, then the students will have an easier time taking it. Third, keeping the
reading difficulty and vocabulary level simple will prevent distorted results.
Students should be measured on the performance determined, not by some
factor that was not designed to measure. (Miller, Linn, & Gronlund, 2009).
Students should be knowledgeable on what to do and what not to do when
preparing and taking a test. Preparations for the test can entail many
dimensions, including: maintaining good study habits, completing and
submitting assignments on time while having a clear understanding of the work
expected of you, and contacting the professor if you need any additional help or
clarification. Getting a good night’s sleep and eating breakfast before a test will
help you stay focused (Tennessee Department of Education, 2010). Also, as a
part of preparation, do not cram for the test. You have to start by planning
ahead and deciding not only is this is something you need to do, but must do in
order to achieve the results you anticipate. Make sure that you have everything
you need for the test, i.e. computer, good test taking environment, and minimal
distractions. Always make sure to read the directions and questions carefully
so you know what is expected from you. Finally, when you have selected all
your responses/answers, do not submit it without going back and reviewing
your answers and proofing what you have written. (TeacherVision, 2010).
