Determining the Appropriate Format of Tests

Observed Parameter Short description of what should be (ideal)

The margins on attachment A and B are good even though they

Margin do not have the same measurement. It is easily help us students
to determine where to start and end the examination. But the
margin of attachment A is having more better look than
attachment B.
Both Attachments are readable on their respected font style, but
Font Style Attachment A is more presentable, clearer, and neater.
Attachment B, having this kind of font style is giving the student
hard time and making more complicated to them.
The two test papers have the same size paper. It minimizes the
Paper Size number of papers used and it is proportional on the
questionnaire. Long and short are good if the font size is
readable.
Attachment A has font size of 12 while attachment B has 10. For
Font Size students has a clearer eye, maybe both are okay to them but for
those students who has a problem on their eyes Attachment B is
not good for them because it is too small. The ideal font size for
all students is 12, which we can see on attachment A.
Both attachments are printed on black and it is good to all
Font Color students. They are both readable.

Attachment A and B has different spacing. Attachment A, the

Spacing spacing are good and it is the ideal spacing on an Exam paper.
Items, questions and even directions are easy to read and very
understandable while on attachment B are not good and seems
that many students will be misunderstood and make them
complicated because every items are too close to each other.
