The test construction and analysis project allowed an opportunity for me to analyze and explore my ability to create and construct meaningful and engaging tests. The project afforded me a way to evaluate my test creation skills and try my own ability to reflect on the results. Throughout the project, it afforded a way to gain insight into the process of constructing a test. The test utilizes Google Forms to aid in the administration and evaluation of the test. The underlying goal of the test construction and analysis project is to self-reflect on my test questions and writing skills using the results. Using the results to collect data from my peers as a baseline for the level of difficulty of answers. The focus was to create a series of questions that initiated a series of higher-level thinking within Bloom’s Taxonomy. The aim is to write and construct questions that have students making use of their knowledge through evaluation and analytical thought.
