She ran away into the woods. She was very tired and hungry. Then, she saw this little cottage. She knocked, but no one answered, so she went inside and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the seven dwarfs were coming home from work. They went inside. There they found Snow White sleeping. Then Snow White woke up. She saw the dwarfs. The dwarfs said, ”What’s your name?” Snow White answered, “My name is Snow White.” The other dwarfs asked, “If you wish, you may live here with us.” Snow White said, “Oh, could I? Thank you!”

Then Snow White told the dwarfs the whole story, and the seven dwarfs lived happily ever after.

Well, after studying about lesson plans and handout which provided many kind of lesson plan’s example in the last session, now we are going to study about Achievement Test. Achievement test is a test for knowing, assessing, testing the student’s understanding about the material they have learned. For example: Teacher will due the Final Examination, certainly he/she has to make a good English test package, called achievement test.

Here, we are going to study about making an achievement test package which consists of (a) Test Objectives; (b) Test Specifications; and (c) Test Items.

I’m going to give you the example of How to Make an Achievement Test. Further, the example of handout of the Achievement Test also is provided in this session.

Test objectives are derived directly from a course’s objectives. In this example, I identified all of the second semester’s objectives of the book “Scaffolding Grade VIII”.
Test specifications contain:

(a) the time allocated for the section of reading, writing, listening and speaking;

(b) the number of items in each section;

Test items are directly derived from and written based on test specifications. We may not use the items already used in “Scaffolding Grade VIII”, so we have to make it by our-salve.
