OBJECTIVES

TO

EXPERIENCE A MORE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF TEST ITEMS CONSIDERING THAT WE ARE TO ADMINISTER THAT EXAM TO OTHER STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE ACTUAL TEST ADMINISTRATION FROM TEST PREPARATION, TEST FACILITATING, AND CHECKING OF SCORES TO GATHER CREDIBLE DATA THAT WE MAY USE IN THE SUCCEEDING FLOW OF OUR CHAPTER IV: DIFFERENT TABLES AND INDICES

TEST CONTENT:
A 24-ITEM EXAMINATION THAT WAS DIVIDED

INTO FOUR AREAS: BIOLOGY (5), PHYSICAL SCIENCE (5), GRAMMAR (5), LITERATURE (5), ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA (4) *SINCE IT IS PURELY GENERAL EDUCATION, WE ASSUMED AND BELIEVE THAT IT IS APPLICABLE TO THE GENERAL POPULATION OF OUR CHOSEN SECTION

TEST PREPARATION
WE WERE UNDER THE ROUGH TIME (NOT

THAT ADEPT IN THE COMPLEXITIES OF MAKING A TEST) FIVE HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE: THE FIVE OF US SUPPORTED THIS ENDEAVOR; EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTED FROM THE TEST CONSTRUCTION (WHERE EVERYONE HAD A SPECIFIC AREA) UP TO THE LAST STRAND OF WHAT IS NEEDED, THUS MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO COME UP WITH A 24ITEM EXAM :>

TEST ADMINISTRATION
WE ADMINISTERED THE 24-ITEM EXAM TO A

POPULATION OF 21. SALIENT OBSERVATION: SOME DID NOT TAKE THE EXAM SERIOUSLY! SOME TOOK IT WITH THE RIGHT DISPOSITION.

CHECKING
WITH A 70% PASSING RATE, ONLY 12 OF THE

EXAMINEES PASSED THE EXAM (WITH SCORES 17 ABOVE) THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARD THEIR EXAM COULD HAVE ALSO AFFECTED THIS RESULT.

Items 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 24 have average difficulty level. These items are considered good: Therefore they have retained and included as entries in item bank. Items 1, 16 have very difficult difficulty level therefore these two are rejected as well as items 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 23 which are very easy.

TABLE 4.3 Plausibility of Alternatives

The responses in items

1,2,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18, 20,21,22,23,24 have positive differences therefore the responses are considered plausible. In every item there are decoys that appeared to have negative differences therefore those decoys are plausible.

 But in every item there are decoys that appeared to

have positive differences therefore these decoys are not plausible.

THE COEFFICIENT OF CORRELATION (rhh) is 0.69. This value is interpreted as HIGH CORRELATION .

ANALYZING FURTHER THROUGH THE SPEARMAN-BROWN PROPHECY FORMULA

VERY HIGH CORRELATION THE TOTAL COEFFICIENT OF CORRELATION IS HIGHER THAN THAT OF THE TEST. THE DEGREE OF CORRELATION BETWEEN THE ODD-AND-EVEN NUMBERED ITEMS IS VERY HIGH.

EPILOGUE
THIS IS A HARDCORE EXPERIENCE!

EXPERIENCES

GIVAINED ARE PRICELESS BITS AND BULKS OF LEARNINGS FROM THE SIMPLIEST TO GRANDEST. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR HAVING THIS KIND OF ACTIVITY; ONE OF A KIND! THANK YOU MAAM FOR ALLOWING US TO HAVE THIS LEARNING EXPERIENCE *UP HERE! KUDOS TO EVERYONE OF US, GROUPMATES AND NON-GROUPMATES!*
