Making a test

I now know what is involved with the planning and creating of a test. There are alot of elements involved in this process. Some of them are how many multiple choice, true/false and or short answer/essays do you want to have on the test. However I did not realize that teachers do not have to create the questions themselves. Also you have to take into consideration if you want to have students place answers on a scantron or physically on the test. We got to use the scantron machine in class and it was very simple to use. You also have the choice of leting students use the book of take it with a partner. When considering all of this it is important to think about what the students were supposed to learn and how the test will best show you that.
