A Grade 11 student maintains a folder containing: (1) early drafts and peer-edited essays in English, (2) his best spoken word poetry piece in Filipino, and (3) his quarterly fitness test results in PE. His teacher, however, makes clear that the purpose is to evaluate if the outputs meet the standards of the curriculum.

Every multiple-choice item should assess one objective at once to maximize test coverage.

A well-constructed stem should clearly present the problem so that students know exactly what is being asked.

It is better to include repetitive words in the alternatives rather than in the stem, since this reduces ambiguity.

Negatively worded stems (e.g., “Which is NOT…”) should generally be avoided because they tend to measure test-taking skill rather than mastery of objectives.

Alternatives should be written concisely, since overly wordy distractors may increase reading burden instead of measuring learning.

Alternatives that overlap with each other are desirable because they provide multiple correct perspectives for the student.

To improve clarity, all alternatives in a multiple-choice item should be parallel in form and homogeneous in content.

The presence of grammatical inconsistencies between the stem and one alternative may serve as an unintentional clue to the correct answer.

Including the correct answer verbatim from the textbook ensures the validity of the item, since it matches credible sources.

Using determiners such as always, never, only, and all in alternatives often give signals as the correct answer.

“All of the above” and “None of the above” are recommended distractors because they make the test more challenging and reliable.

Distractors must be plausible so that students without mastery find them convincing, while students with mastery can reject them.

The effectiveness of distractors should be judged based on whether they attract students who have not achieved the objective.

Each multiple-choice item must contain exactly one correct or clearly best answer; ambiguity reduces test validity.

Answer positions should follow a predictable sequence (e.g., most correct answers in the middle options) to help students recognize patterns.

Test items should be presented with a clear layout—using vertical options, consistent spacing, and avoiding page breaks within a single item.

Using unnecessarily advanced vocabulary in alternatives may unintentionally measure reading ability instead of content mastery.

It is acceptable for poorly written items to remain in the test as long as they are difficult enough to reduce high scores.

Item analysis after test administration is essential because it helps identify dysfunctional distractors and revise ineffective questions.

Proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation in item writing are optional, since students focus on content rather than form.
