-When the answer is to be expressed in numerical units, indicate the
Supply Type
type of answer required

B. Directions: Explain what makes the following test items incorrect.

1. The poem “The Raven” ______

A. was written by Edgar Allan Poe

B. was written by Elizabeth Browning

C. was written by Omar Khayyan

D. was written by Jose Garcia Villa

Explanation: It is already given that “The Raven” is a poem so no

need for you to put “The Poem” in your question, again it may sound
redundant. The construction of the question must be “The Raven”
was written by _________?

2. When did the People Power Revolution take in the Philippines?

A. February 23, 1986

B. after the Snap Election

C. March 1, 1956

D. after Valentines’ Day in 1986

Explanation: Common sense that the People Power Revolution took

place in the Philippines so no need for you to include it in your
question because it may sound redundant, much better if the
construction of the question is “When did the People Power
Revolution Began?"

3. Who was the author of the book quoted in the footnote of Chapter 1 of the
present textbook?

Explanation: Once you construct or create a question it must be

clear and make sure that the students will understand it because
base from the given question the construction of the sentence is not
clear.

4. _______________________ is the 16 th president of ________________.

Explanation: Base from the things that you need to consider in

constructing the different types of test, “don’t have to many blanks
in an item” so from the given question itself it is very hard for the
students to answer.

5. Directions: Match the following.

1. Food A. Primary reinforce

2. Psychoanalysis B. Sigmund Freud

3. B.F. Skinner C. Operant conditioning

4. Standard deviation D. Measure of variability

5. Schizophrenia E. Hallucinations
 Explanation: According to the things that you need to consider in
constructing a test “Position of matches should be varied. Avoid using
pattern. So if you’re going to answer the given matching type there is a
pattern because the answer from number 1 is letter A, number 2 is letter B,
number 3 is letter C, number 4 is letter D, and number 5 is letter E, so as
you can see there is a pattern so you need to avoid it.
