 TOS (Table of Specification)

• is sometimes called a test blueprint, is a table that helps

teachers align objectives, instruction, and assessment.
• It provides the teacher with evidence that a test has
content validity, that it covers what should be covered.
• It allows the teacher to construct a test which focuses on
the key areas and weights those different areas based on
their importance.
 How to construct TOS (Table of Specification)
Step 1
• Prepare a Table of Specification as follows:
Chapter/ Time No. of Cognitive Affective Psychomotor
Topic Allotment Items (70%) (20%) (10%)

Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation

 How to construct TOS (Table of Specification)
Step 2
• List down all the topics taken in the grading period under the column on
Chapter/Topic.
Chapter/ Topic
L1. Allah Subhanaho Wa Taala the Bestower of Islam
L2. Character Traits of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.
L3. Performing Salah
L4. Sural Al-Mauun (Charity)
L5. Surah Quraysh (Quraysh Tribe)
L6. Surah Fil (The Elephant)
L7. Surah Al-Humazah (The Backbiter)
Total

Step 3
• Determine the time allotment spent for each topic (this can be found from your
lesson plan and give the total number of hours.
Chapter/Topic Time Allotment
L1. Allah Subhanaho Wa Taala the Bestower of Islam 4
L2. Character Traits of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. 4
L3. Performing Salah 3
L4. Sural Al-Mauun (Charity) 5
L5. Surah Quraysh (Quraysh Tribe) 8
L6. Surah Fil (The Elephant) 3
L7. Surah Al-Humazah (The Backbiter) 7
Total 34

Step 4
• Decide on the total number of items

Chapter/Topic Time Allotment No. of Items

L1. Allah Subhanaho Wa Taala the Bestower of Islam 4
L2. Character Traits of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. 4
L3. Performing Salah 3
L4. Sural Al-Mauun (Charity) 5
L5. Surah Quraysh (Quraysh Tribe) 8
L6. Surah Fil (The Elephant) 3
L7. Surah Al-Humazah (The Backbiter) 7
Total 34 52
 How to construct TOS (Table of Specification)
Step 5 • Solve for the number of items of each topic by dividing the
number of hours per topic and multiply it with the total number
of items.
Chapter/Topic Time No. of
Allotment Items
L1. 4÷34x52 = 6.11 ≈ 6
L1. Allah Subhanaho Wa Taala the 4 6
L3. 3÷34x52 = 4.58 ≈ 5 Bestower of Islam
L2. Character Traits of Prophet 4 6

L7. 7÷34x52 = 10.71 ≈ 11 L7. Surah Al-Humazah (The Backbiter) 7 11
Total 34 52

• Assign the number of items for cognitive, affective and
Step 6 psychomotor processes by multiplying the total number of items
for each topic with the percentage for each process.
