This document defines key statistical and measurement terms used in educational testing and assessment:
- It defines terms related to test construction and analysis like table of specifications, item analysis, ranking, and graphing/tabulating data.
- It also defines statistical concepts used to describe test scores like statistics, test scores, percentile, discrimination index, item difficulty, and measures of central tendency.
- Finally, it outlines the differences between descriptive and inferential statistics and defines specific statistical measures like mean, quartiles, percentiles, mode, z-score, and median.

It is a matrix where the rows consists of specific topics or skills and the
objectives cast in terms of Bloom’s Taxonomy. It is sometimes called a test
blueprint test grid, or content validity chart.. - Table of Specifications It is a statistical technique which is used for selecting and rejecting the items of the test on the basis of their difficulty value and discriminated power. - Item Analysis It is referred to the use of ranking tends to overemphasize individual competition to a greater extent than the practice of assigning letter marks. - Ranking It shows the frequency distribution, histograms, frequency, polygon, cumulative frequency or percent curves can make data interpretable. - Graphing/Tabulating Data It plays an important role in describing the test scores of students. Teachers should have a background on these techniques in order for them to analyze and describe the results of measurement obtained in their own classroom. - Statistics It usually scored by marking each item separately and finding the sum of the marks. - Test Scores It gives a person’s relative position or the percent of the students score falling below their obtain score. - Percentile It distinguishes for each item between the performance of students who did well on the exam and students who did poorly. - Discrimination Index This is the most amendable test to conduct item analysis. - Multiple choice This is the percentage of people who answer an item correctly. It is the relative frequency with which examinees choose the correct response. - Item Difficulty A mathematical term that measures the deviation of a result from the average or mean. - T-score It consist of two modes - Bimodal It is connected with collecting, describing, an analyzing a set of data without drawing conclusions or inferences about a large group of data in terms of tables, graphs or single number. - Descriptive statistics
This is the most common measurement of average. It is also called the
computed average. - Mean It is a score which divide the distribution into four equal parts. - Quartiles It consists of more than two modes - Multimodal There are the ninety-nine score point which divide the distribution into 100 equal parts. - Percentiles This is the item in a set of values that occurs most frequently. For grouped data, the modal class interval with the highest frequency. - Mode This is also known as standard score. It measures how many standard deviations an observation is above or below the mean. - Z-score It is a single value that is used to identify the center of the data, it is taught as the typical value in a set of scores. It tends to list within center if it is arranged from lowest to greatest or vice versa. - Measure of Central Tendency It is concerned with the analysis of a subset of data leading to prediction or interferences about the entire set of data or population. - Inferential Statistics It compares the location of a value in a data set in relation to other values. - Z-score It is score point which divide the given distribution into 10 equal parts. - Deciles It consist only one mode. - Unimodal This is the middlemost value in a list of items arranged in increasing or decreasing order. - Median
