FIAE Chapter 6

When designing tests, it's important to mix both traditional and not-so-traditional questions and prompts. Interpreting questions would are good examples of constructive response sections on a test. When making a test, act like you are the test taker, the assessment should test how well a student knows the content, not their stamina. A test should not be assessing how well a student takes tests. Avoid giving timed tests, in most cases the restrictions impede accurate data collection since students have anxiety about when time will be up, it becomes a test time management. The most accurate assessments of how well students have learned content are small and given over time. the most important lesson to learn from this chapter is to make test simple and efficient. Students should not get bogged down by the intensity of our questions, and we should not feel burdened by correcting the tests we give.
