  • Usability refers to the ease with which a test can be administered, scored, and interpreted.

  • A good test should be practical in terms of time, cost, and effort involved in its implementation. It should be easy for both the students to take and the teachers to manage.

Comprehensiveness (or Adequacy)

  • A good test should adequately cover the entire range of learning objectives or the content taught in a course or unit.
