L4 unit 2 a and c lear
This document provides guidance on preparing for different types of questions that may appear on the geography exam. It distinguishes between part A, part B, and part C questions. For part A questions, it emphasizes describing features from stimulus materials like figures, maps, and data rather than providing case studies. Part B questions require longer answers drawing on fieldwork and research. Part C questions involve using examples or case studies to support responses. It also provides advice on managing time and practicing questions under timed conditions.
Tiss 2010 analysis by bylls eye
The document summarizes the TISS entrance exam taken in 2011. It was divided into two parts. Part 1 tested basic cognitive ability with 50 multiple choice questions that were easy to moderate in difficulty. Part 2 was specific to the HRM program and had 75 questions across four sections (Data Interpretation, Data Sufficiency, Reading Comprehension, and Business Knowledge), which were moderate to difficult. The document provides a detailed analysis of the question types and difficulty levels within each section. An overall score of 80% was needed to clear the cutoff.
The ap test frq
The document provides information about the free response question section of the AP Test. It notes that there are 3 questions to be answered in 75 minutes, with each question worth a different number of points. While the points may differ, all 3 questions are equally weighted. It also recommends attempting all questions even if unsure of the answer, as it is easier to score lower on one question than get perfect scores on two. The document outlines the basic types of questions and advises studying vocabulary terms. It concludes with tips for test takers such as outlining responses before writing and including examples in answers.
Binary Choice Presentation
Binary-choice questions are a type of selected-response item that can assess higher-level reasoning and critical thinking through true/false, yes/no, or other binary options. They are more reliable than other selected-response items and efficient for teachers while still allowing for deep reasoning skills to be measured. When constructing binary-choice items, the document recommends phrasing the question so that a superficial analysis suggests the wrong answer, avoiding negative statements, focusing on one concept per item, and keeping item length consistent.
Writing True/False, Binary Choice, and Interpretive Exercises Test Items
In this presentation, the pre-service teachers are taught what are these types of pen-and-paper tests, disadvantages and advantages, as well as the rules on how to write them.

Summary of Usability Testing Methods: Subjective Measures Part I and II by Jo...
This document discusses methods for creating effective subjective measures for usability testing. It covers three main topics:
1. Sources of distortion in surveys from participants, interviewers, and the task situation that can influence responses.
2. Common question formats used to measure attitudes and opinions in usability testing, including Likert scales, semantic differentials, and scales of measurement.
3. Considerations for usability practitioners using questions as subjective measures, such as interpreting how questions will be understood and using multiple measures to evaluate usability.
True or false
True-false questions require students to judge whether statements are true or false. Guidelines for constructing true-false questions include using clear, unambiguous statements and avoiding clues that may give away the answer. True-false questions can reliably and efficiently measure a wide variety of learning outcomes and are well-suited for questions with only two possible answers or testing for common misconceptions. Examples demonstrate good true-false questions are concise and avoid unnecessary details, while poor questions contain unnecessary information or negatives that make the statement hard to judge.
The MSP Overview
The document provides an overview of the MSP (Measurement of Student Progress) math assessment in Washington state. It outlines the test design and format, including item types, sample questions, and standards assessed. It also discusses implications for instruction, such as teaching students strategies for multiple choice questions. The lessons learned sections highlight math skills students should master by each grade level in order to perform well on the test.
True or false items
Contains definitions, examples and pros and cons that will helped not only education students but also other courses.

UniversityNow Item Writing Guidelines
The document provides guidelines for writing items (questions) that will be used to assess students. It states that an item set consists of 4 items that measure the same skill or concept and should have the same level of difficulty. Each item contains a stem (question), key (correct answer), and 3 distractors (incorrect answers). The guidelines describe best practices for writing stems, keys, and distractors such as using clear, concise language and avoiding negatives. Distractors should be plausible but incorrect. Vocabulary and structure should be consistent between the key and distractors.
Language tests
The document discusses language testing for secondary education. It outlines three main reasons for language tests: placement, diagnosis, and achievement assessment. It also categorizes tests as norm-referenced, criterion-referenced, indirect or direct. Indirect tests assess enabling skills while direct tests assess actual performance. Discrete point tests examine specific elements, while integrative tests require using multiple skills simultaneously. Pragmatic tests are considered the most reliable approach. Placement is best determined through a combination of listening, speaking, writing, and reading tasks.
Test construction
Construction of standardized test is very important since students are assessed with parallel questions. Sometimes, students fail because tests are not valid.
Selecting and constructing test items and tasks
The document discusses measuring different levels of understanding from knowledge to deep understanding when constructing test items and tasks. It defines knowledge, simple understanding, and deep understanding and their relation on a continuum. It also outlines cognitive levels from remembering to creating and examples of lower and higher order thinking questions to assess each level. Constructed response and selected response question types are discussed as well as how they can be used to measure different cognitive levels.

This is an overview presentation on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the accepted selection criteria for post graduate education worldwide.
Item Writing Guidelines
The document provides guidelines for writing items (questions) that will be used to measure students' skills and knowledge. An item consists of a stem, a key, and three distractors. The stem should be clear and concise, formulated as a question rather than a statement when possible. The key and distractors should be similar in length and structure. Items should be written to test understanding rather than recall, and to reinforce correct concepts rather than incorrect ones.
Types of aptitude tests
The document discusses different types of aptitude tests. It defines aptitude as an individual's ability or talent to perform certain tasks, as measured through aptitude tests. There are three main categories of aptitude tests: general aptitude tests, special aptitude tests, and manual dexterity tests. General aptitude tests measure abilities like reasoning, numeracy, language skills, and are further divided into general aptitude test batteries and differential aptitude tests. Special aptitude tests examine abilities related to specific domains like mechanics, clerical work, aesthetics, and music. Manual dexterity tests evaluate hand-eye coordination and finger movement.

Tourism - general
Tourism has grown rapidly since 1960, increasing from approximately 25 million international tourist arrivals that year to over 1 billion in 2010. This growth is due to factors like more leisure time and higher incomes allowing for increased travel. Tourism is a major global industry that provides many jobs, especially in service industries. However, mass tourism has environmental and social impacts and its economic benefits often flow disproportionately to large foreign companies rather than local communities. Case studies of Thailand show it has become highly dependent on tourism, but many tourism workers have low wages and unstable incomes.

Example model answers for OCR B Geography GCSE
This document summarizes coastal erosion and management strategies in two locations in the UK - Highcliffe and Barton-on-Sea. At Highcliffe, erosion was causing damage to properties at a rate of 2 meters per year, so hard and soft engineering methods were used to hold the line, including rock armor, drainage systems, and cliff reshaping. These strategies are costly but protect valuable homes. In contrast, Barton-on-Sea uses managed retreat, allowing erosion and eventual formation of a protective platform. While initially losing land, this strategy is more environmentally sustainable in the long run by not disrupting sediment transport.

Afforestation can affect river flow in 3 ways:
(1) Trees intercept rainfall which reduces surface runoff entering rivers.
(2) Vegetation increases lag time as seen on hydrographs, slowing river volume.
(3) Less water enters rivers and reaches them more slowly due to interception and reduced surface runoff from vegetation.

What will my gcse geography sdme exam look
- 1. What will my GCSE Geography SDME exam look like? For OCR B Specification
- 2. How does the exam work? There will be three sections to complete, A, B & C Section A - The Background Normally worth 10 marks and split into three or four questions worth between 1 to 5 marks per question. You should spend no more than 15 minutes on this section. This will test you on your ability to interpret data from the resource booklet (probably the first two or three resources in the booklet). Expect 'describe' and 'explain' type questions and be prepared to comment on sustainability.
- 3. Section B - The Opinions. Normally worth 14 marks and the questions are more complex. Expect two or three questions worth between 5 to 8 marks each. You should spend no more than 20 minutes on this section. Experience of SDME examinations leads us to believe that this section will ask you to evaluate the viewpoints of the different stakeholders in this decision. Expect questions that ask you to comment on the different sustainability aspect of S.E.E (Social, Economic, Environmental) related to the stakeholders (people involved) and the location.
- 4. Section C - The Decision Normally worth 16 marks and you have one decision to make that could take up to two pages two write about. You need to spend the final 25 minutes on this section. It is really important that you don't overrun on the previous two sections as you will not have enough time to get excellent marks here unless you have enough time. Watch that clock!
