2. B- The z score for the subject Science is 3.67, while the z score of Mathematics
is 2, z score of Filipino is -0.42. Using the concept of z score, the greater the
value of z score, the better the performance of a certain student is.
3. C – Because the z – score is -0.42
4. B – Because the CV of Science is 6.12%. The smaller the value of CV, the closer
the scores are. CV of Mathematics is 9.38% and CV of Filipino is 12.63%
5. C – Because the CV of Filipino is 12.63%. The larger the value of CV, the scores
are widespread, scattered or heterogenous
6. B – Because it pertains to the score he obtained in the test.
7. A – Because negative discrimination means that more students from the lower
group got an item correctly
8. C – because a criterion – referenced test describes the student’s mastery of the
objectives
9. C – Because the first step in planning an achievement test is to formulate the
instructional objectives
10. D – Because mean is one of the types of measure of central tendency. The other
measures of central tendency are the median and mode.
11. D – Because positively skewed distribution means most of the students got low
scores
12. C – Because Quarter 3 is equivalent to 75the percentile
13. A – One of the characteristics of normal distribution is that the mean, median and
mode are equal.
14. D – Because a negatively skewed distribution means that the students perform
well in the said examination or the scores of the students concentrated on the
right part of the curve
15. A – Because a negatively skewed distribution describes a good performance of
the students. The students performed well because most of the examinees got
scores above the mean.
16. B – Use the formula T score = 10z + 50 and solve for z by substitution. The value
of z = 2, which means that the distance from the mean, is twice the standard
deviation.
17. B – because a distracter is said to be effective when most of the lower group
chooses that particular option
18. A – Because quartile deviation is one of the measures of variability. The other
measures of variability are range, mean deviation, variance and standard
deviation.
19. C – Skewed to the right because most of the students got scores below the
mean, which means that the examinees performed very poor.
20. C – Because median is equivalent to the 50th percentile
21. D – Because when the scores and concentrated at the left part of the distribution,
it is skewed to the right, while if the scores concentrated at the right part of the
distribution, it is skewed to the left. Options A, B and C deal with normal
distribution.
22. B – Because r = 0.90 means a high positive correlation
23. D – Because positive discriminating power means that more students in the
upper group got the item correctly
24. C – When dealing with percentile rank, consider the following: (1) the group who
participated in the examination; and (2) the individual score of the examinees.
25. C – Because percentile ranks of 95 means that 95% of the examinees got a
score below an indicated score. Thus, Carl Vince surpassed in performance 95%
of those who took the examination
26. C – Because rating three different methods of controlling tree growth deals with
the highest level of Bloom’s taxonomy, which is evaluation. Option A and B deals
with comprehension, while option D deals with knowledge.
27. C – Because the distribution is skewed to the left if the class is composed of
bright students. High scores are concentrated at the right part of the distribution
28. B – Because inferential Statistics is concerned with the formulation of inferences
or conclusions about a population based on the sample that is drawn from the
population
29. A – Because the area of the normal curve from -2SD to +2SD is approximately
95.44%. To illustrate, from mean to 1SD is 34.13%; from mean to 1 -1SD is also
34.13%. From 1SD to 2SD is 13.59%; from -1SD to -2SD is 13.59%. Thus, the
area under the normal curve is 34. 13% + 34. 13% + 13.59 + 13. 59% = 95. 44%
30. A – Because if a teacher gives additional grade to students who performed well
in the class or in the examination, then he commits a generosity error.

student progress to support the achievement of course objectives in a dynamic,
ongoing and collaborative process.
35. A – Because 85 occurred three times in the distribution. Mode defines as the
number that occurred most in the distribution of scores. The distribution is also
classified as unimodal.
36. D – The difficulty level of an item with difficulty index of 0.81 is very easy. The
discrimination level of an item with discrimination index of 0.13 is very
discriminating. Thus, the item category is very poor. Therefore, the item should
be rejected
37. A – Because formative testing is done after or during discussion. Feedback from
the said exam can be used to determine whether the students have a mastery of
the subject matter.
38. A – If you construct whatever type of test, there should be a correct answer.
Options B, C and D are all characteristics of a good Matching type test.
39. D – If a teacher will conduct an item analysis, he/she should know the difficulty of
an item, discrimination of an item and the effectiveness of the distracters.
40. C – Because the students did not meet Teacher Leo’s mastery level set, which is
90%. As far as the 20 students are concerned, they attained only 80% mastery
level, and it is 10% below the mastery level set by the teacher

44. C – Because the mean of two distributions of scores are equal if the scores are
identical
45. D – For example, the students study habits has an effect on classroom
performance. We can say that a student’s study habit is the cause and classroom
grades are the effect. In this case, the independent variable, the variable we start
with (the input variable) is study habits, and the dependent variable or the
variable we end up with (the outcome variable) is grades.
46. B – The statement can be transformed in this way, P96 = 45. This means that,
there are 96% of those who took the exam in mathematics got the scores lower
than Robert Joseph scores, which is 45.
47. A – Because in norm – referenced statements, you are comparing the
performance of a certain student with the performance of other student/s.
48. B - Behaviour. A behaviourist believes that human behaviour can be best
explained in terms of responses to external stimuli. Also, education can be best
achieved by modifying or changing student behaviours in a socially acceptable
manner through the arrangement of the conditions for learning. The control is
obtained not by manipulating the individual, but the environment.
49. A – Because in content validity, it is a validation that refers
50. D – Because mean is not reliable measure of central tendency with the presence
of extreme scores. The value of the mean is easily affected by the extreme
 scores. The reliable measure of central tendency when there are extreme scores
is the median because it is a positional measure.
51. C – Because the sum of all the scores is equal to the product of the mean and
the number of scores (N). Formula: Mean = Summation of Scores/ N
52. A – Because using z – score, you can compare the performance of the students.
It tells the number of standard deviations equivalent to a raw score. The higher
the value of z – score, the better the performance of a certain student is.
53. A – Because among the option mean is only measure of position
54. D – Because analysis of variance using F test is a statistical tool that is used to
test the significant difference of three or more means
55. A – Because in using the mean, you are going to utilize all the scores of the
students. Thus, using mean, you can describe best their group performance
56. C – Because in standard deviation, it can be said that, the higher the value of
standard deviation on the average, the scores are far from the mean value. Thus,
scores are more scattered. On the other hand, the smaller the value of the
standard deviation on the average, the scores are closer to the mean value.
Thus, the scores are closer to each other.
57. D – Because an item with a difficulty index of 0. 10 has a difficulty level of very
difficulty. Hence, students were hard up in that item
58. B – The definition of mode is the score/s that occurred most in the distribution. If
25 is the mode value, then 25 occurred most in the distribution
59. D – Because formative evaluation is given during or after instruction
60. A – Because the types of measures of variability are range, inter quartile range,
mean deviation, variance and standard deviation.
61. A – Because if you are going to solve the difference between the highest score
and the lowest score then you are solving for the value of range. Using the
formula: Range = Highest Score – Lowest Score
62. B – Because when the scores are concentrated at the left part of the curve, it is
called positively skewed.
63. B – Because the area of -1SD to +SD of a normal curve distribution is 68.26%.
That is, from -1SD to mean is 34. 13% and from mean to +1SD is also 34. 13%.
Thus, the sum is 68.26%
64. D – Because 86 is the middle most score in the distribution, which is the median
value
65. A – Because an item is very difficult when the difficulty index range to 0 – 0.20.
66. C – Because the discrimination index is negative, this means that more students
from the lower group answered the item correctly.
67. C – Because the smaller the value of the standard deviation, the scores are
concentrated or more closer from the mean value
68. B – Because a normal curve distribution is a kind of distribution where scores are
normally distributed below and above the mean value
69. D – Multimodal is a score distribution that consists of more than two modes.
70. B – Median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency of used when
the distribution is skewed
71. D – Because the score of Ace is within the above average scale
72. A – Because the graphical representation of the scores where the most of the
scores above the mean is negatively skewed
73. B – A positively skewed distribution implies that the mean is greater than the
median
74. C
75. D – A percentile rank of 98 means that 98% of the examinees got a score below
the score of Ritz Glenn. Hence, Ritz Glenn performed better than 98% of her
fellow examinees.
76. D – The range of set of A is 14 while the range of B is 16. It can be said that the
larger the value of the range, the more spread out the scores in a distribution
77. C – Because 50% or 20 of the students who took the examination lies on the
interval 25 – 29.
78. D
79. A – Range is easily affected by the extreme scores, if there is a changes in either
the highest score or lowest score, the value of the range easily changes
80. A – Mean easily affected by the extreme scores. If there is a changes in the
highest score, the mean value is pulled up, while if the lowest score becomes
smaller, the mean value is pulled down
81. B – Because 96% of the students got the item number correctly
82. C – Because the computed value of r = 0.95, which shows a highly positive
correlation
83. C – Because the item is very easy and is questionable item. Hence, she should
reject the item
84. B – Because mode can be identified by just counting the score/s that occurred
most in the distribution.
85. C – Because more students from the lower group choose the incorrect option
than the students from the upper group.
86. C – Because more students from the upper group got the correct answer
87. B – Because positive discrimination means that more students from the upper
group got the item correctly more than the lower group.
88. D – Because only 72% of the given items answered by the students correctly
89. D – Because all the given statements are essential in constructing or developing
scoring rubrics
90. C – Because a rubric is developmental
91. D – Through portfolio assessment, you can measure the students’ growth and
development
92. A – Because performance – based assessment emphasizes both process and
product
93. D – Because moral dilemma was used by Kohlberg and other researchers to test
the awareness of values
94. C – Because sentence completion test, word association test, and Thematic
Apperception test are all projective personality tests, while interview cannot be
considered a test per se.
95. D – Because anecdotal reports are notes written by the teacher regarding
incidents at the classroom that might be needs special attention in the future.
96. A – Because usually, the students are confused between Guidance Counselor
and Prefect Discipline
97. D – Because it allows the author to share intimate details about his life
98. A
99. B – Because confidentially states that whatever transpires in the Guidance Room
will remain there.
100. B
101. A – Because the counsellor break confidentially rule in cases of planned
suicide or planned hurting/killing of somebody
102. C
103. D – Because authentic assessment is an assessment applying real
104. D – Because the primary purpose of giving standard test is to engage in
easy scoring
105. C – The teacher must teach the lesson as it is because the lesson not
mastered by all of the students yet, and it is a part of the syllabus
106. C – Options A, B and D a non – achievement factors which may be
considered in assigning grades. They add meaning to grades as an indicator of
achievement (if A, B and D are rated separately and independently from
achievement grades)
107. A – Because the item have many possible answer, and the stem does not
pose a problem to the examinee
108. B – The teacher should get the top 10 in the test using percentage score
109. D –Marking on a normative basis follows the normal distribution curve
110. B – Because a scoring rubric is very important and indispensable for self
assessment.
111. B
112. D – Because one of the characteristics of students with strong
interpersonal intelligence is they want to involve themselves in a classroom
discussions and group activities
113. A – Because the emphasis of assessment of learning is giving grades
114. A – Because students performed very well in Mathematics than in
Physical Science and English based on the mean
115. B – Because the difficulty index is 1, which means that everybody got the
item correctly. Hence, the test item is very easy
116. B
117. C – Since the SD of A = 1.7, SD of B = 3.2, and the mean are equal.
Hence, the scores in Set A are more clustered around the mean than those in
Set B. The smaller the value of SD, on the average, the scores are closer to the
mean
118. B – Split – half method and Kuder Richarson measure internal
consistency of the test scores of the students. Test – retest measures stability of
the test scores, and a parallel method measures equivalence
119. A – Test – retest measures stability of the test scores
120. C – A matching type of test consists of two columns, A and B. The
descriptions should be in Column A and the options in Column B. Hence, the
descriptions and options are in a wrong place. They should be interchanged.
121. A – More options than descriptions to avoid easy guessing. Hence, add
one or two options in column B
122. C – Formative assessment is given during or after instruction to get
feedback whether the students learning something from the discussions or not.
The result of this assessment is not a part of the grading system because the
purpose is to monitor the learning progress of the students only
123. B – The value of r = 0.73, which shows a highly positive correlation. This
means that the higher the score in Mathematics, the higher the score in English.
124. A – The phrase “grading on the curve” based from norm – referenced
grading. This means that, the performance of a certain student compared to the
performance of other students in the group
125. D – All statements are true, except D, which is false about scoring rubrics
because the level of achievements can’t be limited to 4 level of achievements. It
can be more than four. It depends on the complexity of the task to be assessed.
126. B – When using performance based assessment and portfolio
assessment is always an issue that the grade given to the students is not
reliable. To avoid such problem, the teacher using these types of assessment
must always utilize the use of scoring rubrics so that there is a consistency of
grading among the students.
127. *
128. C – About 95% of the scores of the students must be the interval -2sd to
+2sd units from the mean value. From the normal curve distribution: 13.59% +
34. 13% + 34.13% + 13. 59% + 95. 44% or 95%
129. C – The score of Edgar is within the interval Mean +1sd. Hence, his score
is above the mean value.
130. D – Find the weighted mean = (10(88) + 25(95) =+ 15(86)+10(98)/60 =
92. 08
131. C – The teacher committed a severity error in giving grades when he
tends to give lower grade than what is supposed to be or giving a low grades on
the performance of the students. The teacher committed a generosity error when
he is favouring students’ form the upper group or tends to give additional grades
to those students who perform well in the given task.
132. C – Statements II, III, IV are some of the guidelines in developing a
matching type of test. Statement I is a violation of developing a matching type of
test. In developing a matching type test, the descriptions and options must be
homogenous
133. D – The extended essay test is the most effective measure of higher
order thinking skills of cognitive learning objectives. The essay test, whether
restricted or extended, assess as the students’ ability to organize and present
their original ideas. The students are expected to demonstrate the ability to
organize and present his ideas in a logical way, integrate and express ideas.
Conversely, the objective test, achievement test or completion test demonstrate
the ability to recall factual knowledge.
134. D – The statements A, B and C are characteristics an objective test.
Objective test normally measures low – level thinking skills, such as knowledge,
comprehension, and application.
135. A – Maverick is a logical type of learner because the z = 1.71
136. D – The most important and the most stable measures of variation is
standard deviation. It is the average of all the scores that deviate from the mean
value.
