brief definite statement. Do not use indefinite statement
that allows several answers.
2.Be sure that the language used in the statement is
precise and accurate in relation to the subject matter
being tested.
3.Be sure to omit only the key words, do not eliminate
so many words so that the meaning of the item
statement will not change.

the statement. It should be at the end of the statement.

statement. The statement should pose the problem to
the examinee.
6.Be sure to indicate the units in which to be
expressed when the statement requires numerical
answer.
7.Be sure that the answer the student is required to
produce is factually correct.
8.Avoid grammatical clues.
