Read Explanation:

Achievement Test 

  • An achievement test is a standardized assessment designed to measure an individual's knowledge, skills, or proficiency in a specific subject area or domain acquired as a result of instruction or training. 

  • It evaluates what a person has already learned and mastered, rather than their potential or capacity to learn new things

Constructing an achievement test

  • Defining clear learning objectives.

  • Determining the content to be assessed and the weightage of each topic.

  • Selecting appropriate question types (e.g., multiple-choice, short answer, essay).

  • Developing a test blueprint to guide item creation.

  • Writing clear and unambiguous test items.

  • Developing scoring rubrics and marking schemes.

  • Reviewing, revising, and validating the test through procedures like pilot testing and item analysis

Reliability

The test consistently produces similar results when administered under similar conditions.

Objectivity

The scoring and interpretation of the test results are free from personal bias.

Usability/Practicability:
