A. Surpassed the performance of 80% of her fellow examinees
B. Got a score of 80.
C. Surpassed the performance of 20% of her fellow examinees
D. Answered 80 items correctly.

A. The student's past performance
B. An absolute standard
C. The performance of a group
D. What constitutes a perfect score
That's it.
Develop your test-taking skills! Take the LET! Pass the LET!
37. Which of the following shows an interactive learning environment?
A. The child goes out and discovers for himself some rock fossils.
B. The child listens to a lecture on fossils.
C. The child summarizes a science textbook discussing fossils.
D. The child writes in his notes lists of fossils from the board.
It's very easy to answer this question. Obviously, the answer is option A - The child goes out
and discovers for himself some rock fossils.
There is nothing interactive about listening to a lecture. We all know how boring lectures
can get. How much more would it be for a child?
There is nothing interactive about summarizing a section of a textbook. We all know how
mentally cumbersome and torturing the task of summarizing is. It is not neither interactive
nor fun.
Although writing is one of the five (5) macro-skills, still, writing is not as interactive as option
A.
[!] Remember that there are already 5 macro-skills: reading, writing, listening, speaking and
viewing. The old four-macro-skill idea is already outdated due to the inundation of
technological advancements.
38. Teacher C wishes to stand by the belief that teachers are trustees of the cultural
and educational heritage of the nation and is under the obligation to transmit to
learners such heritage. What should she do?
A. Use interactive teaching strategies.
B. Use the latest educational technology.
C. Observe continuing educational technology.
D. Study the life of Filipino heroes.
Using interactive teaching strategies does not have even a lick of effect to a teacher's being
a trustee of cultural and educational heritage. One can stand by such an idea with only the
use of the black board or the manila paper. Eliminate option A.
Option B - Use the latest educational technology - and option C - Observe continuing
educational technology are the same with option A - Use interactive teaching strategies.
They talk about educational materials.
Basing our arguments on paragraph 1 and paragraph 2, we can safely conclude that the
best answer is option D - Study the life of Filipino heroes.
39. DepEd plans to cluster remote stand-alone school under one school head. What
factor must be prioritized?
A. Psychological factors
B. Historical factors
C. Geographical factors
D. Social factors
Do we still need to go into details? No. Any thinking person will immediately know the
answer for this question.
OPTION C - Geographical factors.
a nationalist.
36. Teacher B is deeply interested in quality PDP's - Professional Development
Programs. What should she look for?
A. That which is prescribed by educational leaders
B. That which is required for the renewal of professional license
C. That which is dependent on one's availability of funds
D. That which responds to one's needs as a teacher
Although option A - That which is prescribed by educational leaders, option B - That which is
required for the renewal of professional license and option C - That which is dependent on
one's availability of funds are also considerations in choosing Professional Development
Programs, we are looking for the best answer. What most better answer can be given
beside option D?
Yes. Teacher B should look for Professional Development Programs that are responsive to
her needs as a teacher.

To advise, on the other hand, involves knowledge, skills, emotion and psyche.
32. Student B was observed to be always clowning, creating distractions in your
class. It would be best for you, as a teacher, to:
A. Tell him how to behave in class.
B. Remind him of the possible consequences of his behavior.
C. Ask him why he is behaving this way.
D. Ignore what he does.
Option D - Ignore what he does - might probably the stupidest thing a teacher would do in a
situation such as this. Misbehavior in the classroom must always be handled, with
intelligence, skills and sympathy.
Options A and C are also good options but the best answer is C - Ask him why he is
behaving this way.
33. You are a parent and a teacher at the same time. Aside from that, you are also one
of those who head the PTA project - a school canteen the proceeds of which are to
finance PTA needs and the sales of which are a little bit higher. Which of the
following should you do?
A. Bring food for you and your children, but always make it a point to buy from the canteen.
B. Buy all your food from the canteen and request for a discount.
C. Bring food enough for you and your children. Don't eat in the canteen.
D. Buy all your food from the school canteen even if you cannot afford to do so every day.
Obviously, the answer is A - Bring food for you and your children, but always make it a point
to buy from the canteen.
Option B is unacceptable. Option C seems extreme. Option D seems too much.

A. Education
B. Learning
C. Teaching
D. Development
Notice the last phrase. "Other modes of response" is obviously a behaviorist's statement.
Do not forget that behaviorists define learning as the process of acquiring, remembering
and applying what has been observed or predicted from the environment. Therefore, the
answer is option B - Learning.
Do not be deceived by option A - Education. Not all those who are educated are learned.
One can be learned without having been educated.
Teaching, as we all know, is the process of imparting knowledge, skills, attitude and other
modes of response. So, obviously, this is not the answer for this item.
On the other hand, development is the weakest dummy option in this item. We are all aware
that development is a biological process. It exists and proceeds regardless of and even in
the absence of learning and teaching, not to mention one's lack of education.
23. Behavior changes according to its immediate results: pleasurable results
strengthen behavior, unpleasant ones weaken it. What principle of learning is
described?
A. Recency
B. Excitation
C. Extinction
D. Reinforcement
The answer for this item is option D - Reinforcement. A behavior has to be reinforced for it
to be modified. Negatively or positively reinforced behaviors are more likely to reoccur.
Negatively or positively punished behaviors are less likely to occur.
There is no such thing as law or principle of excitation in the realm of pedagogy.
24. A factor which affects learning that emphasizes that learning should be made
recent in the minds of the learners so that they will not forget what they have learned.
A. Recency
B. Excitation
C. Extinction
D. Reinforcement
Based on the previous item, option D - Reinforcement - is not the answer for this item.
Obviously, it is option A - Recency. All one has to do is to notice how the word "recent" was
used in the question.
A, B and C are supply-type tests. Option D - Multiple-Choice - is not a supply- but a selecttest. Therefore, D is the answer.
21. Which is a type of graph in which lines represent each score or set of scores?
A. Scattergram
B. Histogram
C. Frequency Polygon
D. Scatterplot
Scattergram and scatterplot are the same things. Eliminate options A and D.
Histogram is a kind of graphic representation, using, usually, vertical bars to show
frequencies of individual items. A frequency polygon is where midpoints of the interval of
corresponding rectangle in a histogram are joined together by straight lines. It gives a
polygon i.e. a figure with many angles

One more option to go and obviously, D - the high possibility of guessing - is the answer.
17. A class is composed of academically poor students. The distribution will more
likely be _.
A. Leptokurtic
B. Skewed to the right
C. Skewed to the left
D. Symmetrical
Considering that two opposite options contain the right answer, let's focus on B and C.
Outcomes of tests from a group of academically poor students are likely low figures. So, it
should be positively-skewed.
Positively-skewed distributions are to the right (This indicates poor scores) and negativelyskewed distributions are to the left (This indicate high scores).
Remember that a leptokurtic curve is that which has scores about the mean. Leptokurtic
curves are also symmetrical, along with mesokurtic and platykurtic distributions. Skewed
distributions are not symmetrical.
18. Which statement about median is correct?
A. It is a measure of variability.
B. It is the most stable measure for central tendency.
C. It is the 50th percentile.
D. It is a significantly affected by extreme score.
All you have to remember here is that median is no a measure of variability but of central
tendency. Measures of variability include Standard Deviation.
No one measure of central tendency is stable. All of them are affected by different factors.
Median is significantly affected by extreme scores. Median is not that much.
Therefore, option C - It is the 50th percentile - is the correct answer.

13. In a normal distribution curve, a T-score of 70 is _.
A. Two SDs below the mean
B. Two SDs above the mean
C. One SD below the mean
D. One SD above the mean
T-scores are set to 50 to represent the mean. a score of 10 represents 1 Standard
Deviation. If you have a t-score of 60, you have one SD above the mean and if you have a
t-score of 40, you have one SD below the mean.
So, the answer is B - Two SDs above the mean. 70 (t-score) = 50 (mean) + 10 (SD) * 2.
14. Which type of test measure higher order thinking skills?
A. Enumeration
B. Matching
C. Completion
D. Analogy
We all know that enumeration, matching and completion are usually used for lower order
thinking skills. It usually requires only memorization or recall.
Analogy, on the other hand, requires logic and reasoning. This is why it is under the
category HOTS.
15. Standard deviation is to variability as _ is to central tendency.
A. Mode
B. Quartile
C. Range
D. Pearson R
We have to remember that there are three measures of central tendency. First, we have the
mean. Also, we have the median and the mode. Obviously, the answer is A - Mode.
Now, let's talk about why B, C and D aren't the answers. When we mention Pearson R, we
talk about correlation. When we mention Quartile, we refer the values that divide a list of
numbers into quarters. Finally, when we mention range, we refer simply to the difference
between the lowest and the highest value.

D. Positively-skewed
If all members of a group of examinees obtained scores above the mean, the distribution
will be negatively-skewed. In this case, all examinees obtained scores below the mean. So,
the distribution will be positively-skewed.
A leptokurtic distribution is a thin curve. This happens when scores are just about the mean.
A perfect normal curve is when a group of examinees got a normal distribution of scores
represented by a bell shape.

The answer is actually option A - Completion. Completion is under the category of test-types
called "Objective Supply." This type or category of tests allows the students to supply the
answer and expects a convergent answer.
Options B, C and D are under "Objective Select." Under this category, students are given
choices. So, that's what makes them different from one another.
9. Q1 is 25th percentile as median to _.
A. 40th percentile
B. 75th percentile
C. 50th percentile
D. 49th percentile
Median refers to the average of a set of data. "Med" means middle. So, one only has to cut
[rough description] something half to get a median.
The answer is C - 50th percentile.
A and B are directly opposite choices. Second of all, comparing the upper and the lower
group is a form of discrimination. Finally, the upper group is expected to perform better than
the lower group.
5. Which is implied by a positively-skewed score distribution?
A. The mean, the median and the mode are equal.
B. Most of the scores are high.
C. The mode is high.
D. Most of the scores are low.
The answer for this item is option D - Most of the scores are low. Notice that option B and D
are direct opposites.
A positively-skewed distribution shows that most scores are low; a negatively-skewed
distribution shows that most scores are high. Here is a photo that shows a positively
skewed distribution:
TEST-TAKING SKILL:
[!] Choose from two opposing options.
6. A negative discrimination index means that _.
A. Less from the lower group for the test item correctly.
B. More from the lower group answered the test item correctly.
C. The test item could not discriminate between the lower and the upper group.
D. More from the upper group answered the test item correctly.
Although options A and B are direct opposites, none of them is the correct answer. Also,
option D is the same as option A. This is the reason why you have to eliminate A, B and D.
Option C is the correct answer.
TEST-TAKING SKILLS:
[!] Eliminate options taking about the same thing.
[!] Look for key words.
Posted by Mark Pea No comments:
Now, let's discuss options A, B and C. Options A and B are very similar. Isn't it that we have
two things to consider in an item analysis - the discriminatory index and the level/index of
difficulty? You don't need any choice that is the same with another option. Eliminate such
options.
Correlation, on the other hand, can be measured using special mathematical fomulae like
the Pearson R. Mean can never determine the correlation of two sets of data.
TEST-TAKING SKILLS:
[!] Eliminate similar options.
[!] Know the definition of important terms.
3. Which characteristic of a good test will pupil be assured when a teacher constructs a
table of specification for test construction purposes?
A. Scorability
B. Reliability
C. Economy
D. Content Validity
Reliability refers to the consistency of test outcomes across populations. One of the
important things that a test must have to be have consistency is validity. Validity must first
be achieved before reliability.
All tests are scorable. It is only that different types of tests have different levels of scorability.
Essays are less scorable than multiple-choice tests; this is why essays usually need rubrics.
No matter how good a teacher is in constructing TOS's, the scorability of a type of test
doesn't change.
Economy, when it comes to test construction, is the lack of need to spend too much to
administer and examination. We don't get economy from tables of specification; it is a
matter of experience and technique for the teacher.
The answer is option D.
TEST-TAKING SKILLS:
[!] Know all characteristics of a good test and their differences.
