standardized. Moreover, it does not belong to the same line of categorization as options A,
C and D. We all know that the opposite of standardized is teacher-made.
We're down to three.
An aptitude test assesses what a student can do or what he knows right now. It's a test of
how far has one gone in his studies. This kind of test is administered for the purpose of
identifying the teacher's effectivity and the progress of the teaching-learning process.
A diagnostic test, on the other hand, assesses what areas a student is likely to have
difficulties with. Diagnostic tests are given, usually, at the start of the school year to direct
the teacher of what learning objectives to set.
Finally, a placement test assesses what a student can do or what he know right now for the
purpose of placing him in the right section or group. Answer is option D -placement.

Labels: [Prof.Ed.] QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
B. Is valid
C. Is easy
D. Has a positive discriminating power
A valid item can be easy and difficult. An easy or difficult item can be valid, either way. So,
options B and C don't make any sense.
47. Michelle obtained an NSAT percentile rank of 80. This indicates that she _.
A. Surpassed the performance of 80% of her fellow examinees
B. Got a score of 80.
C. Surpassed the performance of 20% of her fellow examinees
D. Answered 80 items correctly.
48. What is an element of norm-referenced grading?
A. The student's past performance
B. An absolute standard
C. The performance of a group
D. What constitutes a perfect score
Option B also seems to be a tantalizing choice but a simple scrutiny will reveal that it should
not be the answer for this item. Remember that identifying pupil's difficulties is done through
a process called diagnostic assessment. The result of the "test" itself is proof/basis in
determining with which area students are hard up.
The answer is option D - Comparing test score. This is true because there are two kinds of
test-score comparison/evaluation: one that is criterion-referenced and another which is
norm-referenced.
44. Here is a test item: "Jose Rizal was born in Calamba, Laguna on June _, 1861."
What error is noticeable in this item?
A. The blank is very short.
B. It is concerned with trivia.
C. The blanks are near the end.
D. It is open to more than one correct answer.
We all know that teacher are encouraged to bring out students' higher order thinking skills
when constructing test items. The reason behind this is that knowledge level is not enough
for global competency and that anyone can memorize facts.
There nothing wrong about an item having a very short blank. Indeed, there is also no
problem about an item where the black is near at the end. Although option D - It is open to
more than one correct answer - also makes a bit of a sense, we all know that Jose Rizal
was only born within a day and was not given birth by his mother once more after that.
So, the answer is letter B - It is concerned with trivia.
45. The score distribution follows a normal curve. What does this mean?
A. Most of the scores are on the -2SD.
B. Most of the scores are on the +2SD.
C. The scores coincide with the mean.
D. Most of the scores pile up between -1SD and +1SD.
To be honest, I don't like these kinds of questions. However, we can't do away with them.
The mean covers about 68.26% of a nomarl distribution curve. The mean is represented by
the T Score 50 or 0SD. The mean of normally-distributed curve is between -1SD (T Score:
40) and +1SD (T Score: 60), just around 0SD (T Score: 50).
That's it.
D. The child writes in his notes lists of fossils from the board.
It's very easy to answer this question. Obviously, the answer is option A - The child goes out
and discovers for himself some rock fossils.
There is nothing interactive about listening to a lecture. We all know how boring lectures
can get. How much more would it be for a child?
There is nothing interactive about summarizing a section of a textbook. We all know how
mentally cumbersome and torturing the task of summarizing is. It is not neither interactive
nor fun.
Although writing is one of the five (5) macro-skills, still, writing is not as interactive as option
A.
[!] Remember that there are already 5 macro-skills: reading, writing, listening, speaking and
viewing. The old four-macro-skill idea is already outdated due to the inundation of
technological advancements.
38. Teacher C wishes to stand by the belief that teachers are trustees of the cultural
and educational heritage of the nation and is under the obligation to transmit to
learners such heritage. What should she do?
A. Use interactive teaching strategies.
B. Use the latest educational technology.
C. Observe continuing educational technology.
D. Study the life of Filipino heroes.
Using interactive teaching strategies does not have even a lick of effect to a teacher's being
a trustee of cultural and educational heritage. One can stand by such an idea with only the
use of the black board or the manila paper. Eliminate option A.
Option B - Use the latest educational technology - and option C - Observe continuing
educational technology are the same with option A - Use interactive teaching strategies.
They talk about educational materials.
Basing our arguments on paragraph 1 and paragraph 2, we can safely conclude that the
best answer is option D - Study the life of Filipino heroes.
39. DepEd plans to cluster remote stand-alone school under one school head. What
factor must be prioritized?
A. Psychological factors
B. Historical factors
C. Geographical factors
D. Social factors
Do we still need to go into details? No. Any thinking person will immediately know the
answer for this question.
may understand is not a strong proof of discipline. Moreover, having the highest intellectual
power does not guarantee discipline. Indeed, there had been a lot of instances where an
intelligent person has done mistakes characteristic of an undisciplined mind.
Letter C, to be honest, can be a very plausible option. One who can use his
mind/intellectual capabilities to deal with problems does show "discipline," to some extent.
However, we are looking for the best answer.
Option D - A man who has greater ability to use his intellectual powers for controlling his
emotional life - is the answer. This, merely, is signaled by the word "discipline" in the
question and the word "control" in the option.
We all know that disciplining oneself means controlling the same.
29. Which of the following is a method of Greek education?
A. Direct imitation of living models
B. Direct inculcation of certain qualities
C. Learning through example
D. All of the above
This here is a tough question. All of the options are plausible. This is because all of them
are the answer. Option D - All of the above - is the answer for 29.
30. One of the four medieval religious institutions which attempted to support
authority of the church by the intellect, to justify faith by reason and to substantiate
theology by logic
A. Scholasticism
B. Monasticism
C. Humanism
D. Guild System
Eliminate option D - Guild System. The Guild System is is an association of artisans or
merchants who control the practice of their craft in a particular town. The earliest types of
guild were formed as confraternities of workers. They were organized in a manner
something between a professional association, trade union, a cartel, and a secret society.
They often depended on grants of letters patent by a monarch or other authority to enforce
the flow of trade to their self-employed members, and to retain ownership of tools and the
supply of materials. A lasting legacy of traditional guilds are the guildhalls constructed and
used as meeting places.
Now, we are only left with 3 options - A, B and C.
The answer is A - Scholasticism. Scholasticism is a movement/institution that aimed to
defend the dogma of the Catholic Church because of the pressures of a pluralistic society.
B - Monasticism - is a way of life. Humanism is a moral stance.

This time, it seeks a more general term. It does not mention anything about punishment or
reward or conditioned and unconditioned stimuli. Therefore, the answer is B - Behaviorism.
27. A law of learning which states that learning is strengthened when it results to
satisfaction but weakened when it leads to annoyance.
A. Law of Effect
B. Law of Readiness
C. Law of Exercise
D. Law of Appreciation
There is no such thing as Law of Appreciation under Connectionism. So, we are left with A,
B and C.
Law of Readiness does not talk about whether learning is strengthened or weakened. It only
deals with the most probable response a learner has for a specific stimulus based on what
he is more likely to "ready to respond" with.
Law of Exercise talks about whether learning is strengthened or weakened. However, it
does not deal with whether the learning leads to satisfaction or annoyance. It is only
concerned about whether learning is frequent and intensive.
So, the answer is A - Law of Effect. The Law of Effect deals with the consequences of
learning.
and applying what has been observed or predicted from the environment. Therefore, the
answer is option B - Learning.
Do not be deceived by option A - Education. Not all those who are educated are learned.
One can be learned without having been educated.
Teaching, as we all know, is the process of imparting knowledge, skills, attitude and other
modes of response. So, obviously, this is not the answer for this item.
On the other hand, development is the weakest dummy option in this item. We are all aware
that development is a biological process. It exists and proceeds regardless of and even in
the absence of learning and teaching, not to mention one's lack of education.
23. Behavior changes according to its immediate results: pleasurable results
strengthen behavior, unpleasant ones weaken it. What principle of learning is
described?
A. Recency
B. Excitation
C. Extinction
D. Reinforcement
The answer for this item is option D - Reinforcement. A behavior has to be reinforced for it
to be modified. Negatively or positively reinforced behaviors are more likely to reoccur.
Negatively or positively punished behaviors are less likely to occur.
There is no such thing as law or principle of excitation in the realm of pedagogy.
24. A factor which affects learning that emphasizes that learning should be made
recent in the minds of the learners so that they will not forget what they have learned.
A. Recency
B. Excitation
C. Extinction
D. Reinforcement
Based on the previous item, option D - Reinforcement - is not the answer for this item.
Obviously, it is option A - Recency. All one has to do is to notice how the word "recent" was
used in the question.
There is no such thing as law or principle of excitation in the realm of pedagogy.

D. Scatterplot
Scattergram and scatterplot are the same things. Eliminate options A and D.
Histogram is a kind of graphic representation, using, usually, vertical bars to show
frequencies of individual items. A frequency polygon is where midpoints of the interval of
corresponding rectangle in a histogram are joined together by straight lines. It gives a
polygon i.e. a figure with many angles

D. Symmetrical
Considering that two opposite options contain the right answer, let's focus on B and C.
Outcomes of tests from a group of academically poor students are likely low figures. So, it
should be positively-skewed.
Positively-skewed distributions are to the right (This indicates poor scores) and negativelyskewed distributions are to the left (This indicate high scores).
Remember that a leptokurtic curve is that which has scores about the mean. Leptokurtic
curves are also symmetrical, along with mesokurtic and platykurtic distributions. Skewed
distributions are not symmetrical.
18. Which statement about median is correct?
A. It is a measure of variability.
B. It is the most stable measure for central tendency.
C. It is the 50th percentile.
D. It is a significantly affected by extreme score.
All you have to remember here is that median is no a measure of variability but of central
tendency. Measures of variability include Standard Deviation.
No one measure of central tendency is stable. All of them are affected by different factors.
Median is significantly affected by extreme scores. Median is not that much.
Therefore, option C - It is the 50th percentile - is the correct answer.

10. Which is claimed to be the overall advantage of criterion-referenced over normreferenced interpretation? An individual's score
A. Is compared with the set mastery level
B. Is compared with that of his peers
C. Is compared with the average scores
D. Does not need to be compared with any measure.
As teachers, we have to interpret scores as a part of the measurement and evaluation
process. Based on this premise, option D - Does not need to be compared with any
measure - must be eliminated immediately.
Option C - Is compared with the average scores - is actually a rough application of Standard
Deviation. It tries to determine the difference (how far away) a certain score is from the
average of the group.
This leaves us with only two options - A and B. Funny, because options A and B are actually
the accurate definitions of criterion-referenced interpretation and norm-referenced
interpretation, respectively.
11. Teacher A does norm-referenced interpretation of scores. Which of the following does
she do?
A. She uses a specified content as its frame of reference.
B. She describes a group of performance in relation to a level of mastery set.
C. She compares every individual student's score with others' scores.
D. She describes what should be their performances.
Based from what we have learned from the previous item, norm-referenced interpretation is
that which involves the comparison of a specific score with the achievement of the whole
class or other students. On the other hand, criterion-referenced interpretation involves the
comparison of an individual score with a level of mastery set by the teacher, the school or
the agency of education.
12. All examinees obtained scores below the mean. A graphic representation of the score
distribution will be __.
A. Negatively-skewed
B. Perfect normal curve
C. Leptokurtic
D. Positively-skewed
If all members of a group of examinees obtained scores above the mean, the distribution
will be negatively-skewed. In this case, all examinees obtained scores below the mean. So,
the distribution will be positively-skewed.
A leptokurtic distribution is a thin curve. This happens when scores are just about the mean.
A perfect normal curve is when a group of examinees got a normal distribution of scores
represented by a bell shape.
A. 40th percentile
B. 75th percentile
C. 50th percentile
D. 49th percentile
Median refers to the average of a set of data. "Med" means middle. So, one only has to cut
[rough description] something half to get a median.
The answer is C - 50th percentile.
TEST-TAKING SKILL:
[!] Choose from two opposing options.
6. A negative discrimination index means that _.
A. Less from the lower group for the test item correctly.
B. More from the lower group answered the test item correctly.
C. The test item could not discriminate between the lower and the upper group.
D. More from the upper group answered the test item correctly.
Although options A and B are direct opposites, none of them is the correct answer. Also,
option D is the same as option A. This is the reason why you have to eliminate A, B and D.
Option C is the correct answer.
TEST-TAKING SKILLS:
[!] Eliminate options taking about the same thing.
[!] Look for key words.
