  2. First step: Outline learning objectives or major concepts to be covered by the test • Test should be representative of objectives and material covered • Major student complaint: Tests don’t fairly cover the material that was supposed to be canvassed on the test.

  3. Planning a Test • Second Step: Create a test blueprint • Third Step: Create questions based on blueprint • Match the question type with the appropriate level of learning • Fourth Step: For each check on the blueprint, jot down (might use 3x5 cards) 3-4 alternative question on ideas and item types which will get at the same objective • Fifth Step: Organize questions and/or ideas by item types

  4. Planning a Test • Sixth Step: Eliminate similar questions • Seventh Step: Walk away from this for a couple of days • Eighth Step: Reread all of the items – try doing this from the standpoint of a student

  5. Planning a Test • Ninth Step: Organize questions logically • Tenth Step: Time yourself actually taking the test and then multiply that by about 4 depending on the level of students • Eleventh Step: Analyze the results (item analyses)
