having a bad day the grade
won't be relliable other
examples are:
- Inter - rated reliability
- When the teaher doesn't give
the all the students the same
test or if she or he gives
different evaluation creteria

- Intra- rated reliablity
- Inconsistente evaluation creteria .
- *Unclear scoring criteria *
Teacher fatigue* carelessness.
These are examples of a not
reliable test
- Practicality
- The relationship between available resources
for the test and the use of the test
- It's divided in four sections
- Cost
- The test should not be
too expensive
- Time
- The test shouldn't be too
long or too short
- Administration
- Not too complicated or
complex to conduct
- Scoring/ Evaluation
- It should fit into the
time allocation and
accompanied with
scoring rubrics
- Face Validity
- Teacher does the test thinking of students
- Teacher puts questions on the
test that they have already seen
throughout the course
- Questions are clear and there is no
suprises.
- Washback
- Feedback at the
end of the test.
- Positive: Encourages
students and also they
will know what they
got wrong and why
- Negative: Teacher only
gives back test and
doesn't tell them what
they got wrong
