Qualities Of Good Test

Validity

  • Validity refers to the extent to which an assessment measures what it is intended to measure.

Reliability

Objectivity

  • Objectivity means that a test should be free from the personal bias or subjective judgment of the scorer.

Usability (or Practicality)

  • 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.

  • It shouldn't focus on only a small portion of the material, leaving other important areas untouched. 

  • This ensures a holistic assessment of a student's understanding and skills.
