Test Development Process Quiz

What are the five stages in the process of developing a test?

• Test conceptualization, Test construction, Test tryout, Item analysis, Test revision

• Test planning, Test execution, Test evaluation, Test feedback, Test closure

• Test design, Test implementation, Test review, Test adjustment, Test finalization

• Test preparation, Test administration, Test scoring, Test reporting, Test improvement

During the test conceptualization phase, what is a key question to consider?

• How will the test be scored?

• What is the test designed to measure?

• What is the budget for the test?

• How many people will take the test?

Which of the following is NOT a consideration during test conceptualization?

• Who will use the test?

• What is the ideal format for the test?

• How will the test be marketed?

• What content will the test cover?

What is the purpose of determining the objective of a test during its conceptualization?

• To decide the test's length

• To ensure the test serves a specific goal

• To determine the test's cost

• To select the test's color scheme

What is the primary focus of criterion-referenced test development?

• To compare test takers against each other

• To measure a test taker's performance against a set standard

• To rank test takers in a norm group

• To evaluate the test taker's speed

What is the purpose of pilot work in test development?

• To finalize the test format

• To conduct preliminary research for test creation

• To distribute the test to a large audience

• To compare test results with other tests

What does scaling involve in the context of test development?

• Assigning grades to test takers

• Setting rules for assigning numbers in measurement

• Designing the layout of the test

• Timing the test duration

What is absolute scaling used for in test development?

• To measure test taker speed

• To obtain a measure of item difficulty across samples

• To rank test takers by age

• To compare test results with other tests

How can scales be examined according to the text?

• Only as unidimensional

• Only as multidimensional

• As unidimensional or multidimensional

• As categorical only

What is a rating scale defined as?

• A grouping of words, statements, or symbols indicating the strength of a trait

• A method of comparing two stimuli

• A scale that measures only one dimension

• A type of categorical scaling
