A carefully constructed test where the scoring, administration, and interpretation of results follow a uniform process can be termed a standardized test.

Key PointsFollowing is the steps that can be followed to construct a standardized test:

  1. Plan for the test. – There needs to be systematic planning in order to formulate a standardized test. Its objectives should be carefully defined. A teacher needs to specify the course or unit content.
  2. Preparation of the test. This requires a lot of creativity and is dependent on imagination, expertise, and knowledge. A teacher lists the major course or unit objectives.
  3. Trial run of the test. It provides an indication of the effectiveness of the test when the intended sample is subjected to it. A teacher discards unrealistic objectives.
  4. Checking the Reliability and Validity of the test. When the test is finally composed, the final test is again administered on a fresh sample in order to compute the reliability coefficient. Validity refers to what the test measures and how well it measures. A teacher or a test constructor prepares a table of specifications.
  5. Norms of the final test – The test constructor also prepares the norms of the test. Norms are defined as average performance scores. They are prepared to meaningfully interpret the scores obtained on the test. A test constructor prepares test items that match the instructional objectives.

Hence D, B, E, C, and A is the correct sequence.

Additional InformationPreparation of manual and reproduction of the test: The manual is prepared as the last step and the psychometric properties of the test norms and references are reported. It provides in detail the process to administer the test, its duration, and the scoring technique. It also contains all instructions for the test.

In mid-2012 I completed my first massive online open course, or MOOC, the kind widely offered by Coursera, EdX, Udacity and so on in partnership with different educational institutions. It was on clinical trials and ethical practices, offered by Johns Hopkins, on Coursera. This was shortly before the MOOC sensation hit India, and when Coursera, which was founded by two Stanford professors, itself was just a few months old. The MOOC bug had bit me. The course Id completed was mainly designed for health care professionals who would be involved in actual clinical trials, not college students who had no prior knowledge of that area. I decided to enroll in the course because it was the only biology related course open at the time. However, I did see hope in that sometime in the future Id be able to get a glimpse of what classes are like in the hallowed halls of major educational institutions around the world. By early 2013, Coursera and EdX had partnered with so many educational institutions and expanded their course offerings to include everything from food and nutrition to Greek mythology to business, that I was spoilt for choice. I spent hours going through course catalogues and poring over course descriptions, almost delirious with excitement at the fact that I was actually going to be able to take classes offered by universities I had only dreamt of attending.
The course the author completed on MOOC was related to which subject?
