Assessment in which students typically select an answer or recall information to complete the assessment. Test may be standardized or teacher made test, these tests may be multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, true-false, matching type.
Indirect measures of assessment since the test items are designed to represent competence by extracting knowledge and skills from their real life context.
Items on standardized instrument tends to test only the domain of knowledge and skill to avoid ambiguity to the test takers.
One-time measures to rely on a single correct answer to each item. There is a limited potential for traditional test to measure higher order thinking skills.

Factors to Consider when Constructing Good Test Items
𝙑𝘼𝙇𝙄𝘿𝙄𝙏𝙔 is the degree to which the test measures what is intended to measure. It is the usefulness of the test for a given purpose. A valid test us always reliable.
𝙍𝙀𝙇𝙄𝘼𝘽𝙄𝙇𝙄𝙏𝙔 refers to the consistency of score obtained by the same person when retested using the same instrument or one that is parallel to it.
𝘼𝘿𝙈𝙄𝙉𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙍𝘼𝘽𝙄𝙇𝙄𝙏𝙔 the test should be administered uniformly to all students so that the scores obtained will not vary due to factors other than differences of the students knowledge and skills. There should be a clear provision for instruction for the students, proctors and even the who will check the test or the scorer
𝙎𝘾𝙊𝙍𝘼𝘽𝙄𝙇𝙄𝙏𝙔 the test should be easy to score, directions for scoring is clear, provide the answer sheet and the answer key
𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙋𝙍𝙄𝘼𝙏𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙎𝙎 the test item that the teacher construct must assess the exact performances called for in the learning objectives. The test item should require the same performance of the student as specified in the learning objectives.
𝘼𝘿𝙀𝙌𝙐𝘼𝘾𝙔 the test should contain a wide sampling if items to determine the educational outcomes or abilities so that resulting scores are representatives of the total performance in the areas measured.
𝙁𝘼𝙄𝙍𝙉𝙀𝙎𝙎 the test should bit be biased to the examinees, it should not be offensive to any examinees subgroups. A test can only be good if it is also fair to all test takers.
𝙊𝘽𝙅𝙀𝘾𝙏𝙄𝙑𝙄𝙏𝙔 represents the agreement of two or more raters or a test administrators concerning the score of a student. If the two raters who assess the same student on the same test cannot agree in score, the test lacks objectivity and the score of neither judge is valid, thus, lack of objectivity reduces test validity in the same way that lack reliability influence validity.
