1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of the report
Principles of Testing and Evaluation, as the name suggest is a subject that
required students to learn and master the art of testing and evaluating. It is extremely
crucial course whereby in student’s future teaching career they are required to apply all
the principles efficiently and thus this assignment main objective are to check on the
students understanding of this course as whole. At the same time, this assignment is
going to give the students a firsthand experience in conducting a test. This project is
synchronized with the aim since it is to help students to become accustomed to be
scrutinized steps of conducting a test, to analyze the outcome of the test result according
to the rules and principles.
1.2 Subject
Our group had chosen Mathematic as the subject in conducting the test. The
subject later was specified to the Form 1 and the test comprised of chapter 1 until chapter
16, as follows:
Chapter 1: Properties of the Whole Number
Chapter 2: Number and Patterns
Chapter 3: Fractions
Chapter 4: Decimals and Approximations
Chapter 6: Percentages
Chapter 7: Direct Proportion (Integers)
Chapter 8: Basic Measurement
Chapter 10: Polygons 1
Chapter 11: Lines & Angles
The constructions of the test consist of all these chapters. Briefly, the item analysis only
analyzes the objective items. In order to test the student’s ability according to stages of
cognitive competencies, we construct a multiple choice question. Besides that based on
the testing format outlined by the Ministry of Education, Form 1 students are only tested
on objective items. Therefore, there is no subjective included in our test.
1.3 Syllabus
According to the written rule of constructing a test, the planning of the test is the
initial step. In planning stage, the identification of the instructional objective and the
taxonomy of educational objectives is a must. In order to get to both matters, the
existence of syllabus is very useful. Therefore, this group has referred to the ‘Sukatan
Pelajaran Matematik Menengah Rendah’ and ‘Huraian Sukatan Pelajaran Kurikulum
Bersepadu Sekolah Menengah Matematik Tingkatan 1’ in creating the test blueprint.
2.0 TEST PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION
2.1 Table of specifications
The table of specification was created after the objective and learning outcome
had been identified. The table of specifications includes the representative’s sample of
the assessment domain based on the institutional objectives solely in order to avoid over
emphasis and under emphasis of each goals. The table also encompassed the number of
items and the credence of marks for every item. Last but not least, the types of items were
included as well. By having instructional objective and the taxonomy of educational
objectives in resonance with the table of specifications, the validity of the test was
enormously amplified.

2.2 Test Paper
As mentioned previously, items constructed in the test consist of objective items
constructed which covers Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 6, Chapter
7, Chapter 8, Chapter 10, and Chapter 11 for the subject Mathematics Form 1. It is
constructed closely in reference to the Bloom’s Taxonomy in cognitive aspects. Time
allocated for the objective items were an hour since there are 30 questions and every 2
minutes were allocated to every items. It is reasoned by the Mathematics question are
lengthy in calculations. The multiple choice items were constructed appropriately
according to the guidelines. All of the items are meaningful and consist of stem and
plausible distracting answer respectively.
The answer keys and rubrics were designed according to the items.

3.0 ASSEMBLING AND ADMINESTERING
3.1 Assembling Test Items
For the assembling test items, we asked the favors from a teacher of
Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Chalok, Setiu Terengganu, Puan Azira in
completing this task. But first, we still identified the format of questions used for
Mathematics of Form 1 test paper for our reference to get the idea how the
questions looks like in the test paper. We gathered the reference by looking at the
text books and other Mathematics reference book. We chose the question paper
for Form 1 students in the form of multiple choices. We asked the help from Puan
Azira to use the question paper for final examination of Mathematics paper for
her Form 1 students. She agreed and assisted us by giving the photocopy of
question and the answer sheet for her students. She gave the instruction to the
students to answer the test paper in half and hour time. All the questions are based
on the KBSM and its syllabus. We collected all the information in one month.
Before Puan Azira give us the answer sheets from her students to us, we asked the
approval from the lecturer about the questions on the test paper.
3.2 Administering Test Item
We chose SMK Chalok, Setiu, Terengganu to complete this task. After
getting the cooperation from one of a teacher from this school to assist us in
gathered the information, she suggested us to use the students from Form 1RK to
be the respondents. As the Mathematics teacher for that class, she had given one
and quarter hour for the students to answer the entire questions in the test paper.
Surely the students did not copy from each others’ answers based on the
observation from their own teacher.
4.0 SCORING AND GRADING
4.1 Scoring
The scoring grade for SMK Chalok, Setiu, lower secondary level is divided into
five categories, namely, A, B, C, D and E. Grade A, B and C are regarded as pass
grade while D and E are regarded as fail. Meanwhile, the scoring marks for B are
20 to 23 marks and the scoring marks for C are 15 to 19. Meanwhile, the scoring
marks can be simplified in table below:
GRADE SCOREA 24-30B 20-23C 15-19D 12-14E 11 and below
4.2 Grading
The answered question papers are then marked based on the marking scheme that
we had outlined earlier. The marks are arranged in order, from the highest to the
lowest score as shown in the table below. Next, the scores were interpreted
according to several categories in the following chapter of this report.
NAME AND SCORE OF STUDENTS OF 1 RK

5.0 INTERPRETING THE SCORES
5.1 Table of Frequency
After calculating the marks of the students, the following data was recorded. The
marks are upon 30. There is no one from the class who managed to get an A
which the marks for A are from 24-30. There are thirteen students who got score
20-23 to get the grade B. For grade C, there are fifteen students who get scores
between 15-19 marks. Lastly, there is a student who got score between 12-14
marks to get grade D and also a student got score between 11 and below to get
grade E.

5.3 MEASURES OF CENRAL TEDENCY
5.3.1 Mean
Mean can be defined as the sum of a set of data divided by the number of
data. The equation for mean is:
Sum of the data = Mean
Number of data
Thus, the mean for the table above is the sum of all scores from 1RK and
was divided into the number of the students of the class. The average for
the scores is 18.8. The calculation is shown below:
Mean = 564/ 30
= 18.8
5.3.2 Median
Median can be defined as the mean of two values, when the data is
arranged in numerical order. In the case of this study, since the numbers of
respondents are even, the mean can not be found when the values of marks
are arranged in numerical order and the two numbers in the middle of the
arrangement is taken and it divided by 2.
Median = 38/2
= 19
5.3.3 Mode
Mode is the value of the number that appears the most. The modes for the
scores for 1RK are 20 and 19 with the frequency of 6 respectively.
5.4.1 Standard Deviation
Standard deviation measures how much subjects differ from the mean of the
group.
The equation for Standard deviation (S) is:
SD = ∑ (x-x) 2
N
No x x (x-x) (x-x)2
