Task 3 : Criteria of a Good Test
The test should contain what does it is supposed to measure. To construct a valid test means to make sure that the results of the test are actual results. Teachers can plan effectively on the basis of valid test results thus improve teaching and effective assessment. There are basically two major characteristics of a good test, validity and reliability but in the absence of other characteristics such as practicality, objectivity and interpretability, validity and reliability may not be possible to be ensured. All six characteristics of a good test are interconnected to each other if one is missed in the test others will definitely be affected. The teachers need to know about all these characteristics and incorporate these characteristics in their testing programs to ensure the effective teaching and learning to be taken place in the classroom.
