Just a small sample of my test:
Reading TEST

The Objective of the TEST is to measure validity, reliability of the TEST as well as proficiency of the students. The TEST will BE a model to me in what I can improve to become an expert in the art of creating TESTS in my professional career.

There is no need to worry about the TEST in terms of confidentiality, shared information, or even a future placement- THIS TEST IS NOT LINKED TO THE EIL PROGRAM OR ANY ACADEMIC PROGRAM AT BYU-HAWAII, OR ANY OTHER INSTITUTION, AND WILL NOT BE SHARED WITH ANYBODY- The purpose of the TEST is 100% for my undergraduate studies, making me the one that will be graded at the end of the TEST.

INFORMATION ABOUT THIS TEST:

1 This will be a multiple choice TEST with 30 items.
2 The test will be distributed to 20-25 people on campus.
3 The test will be graded by the testing center; statistical papers on the test will be given to me as part of my class assignment about test evaluation.
4 The goal of this assignment will be to evaluate reliability and validity of the test applied, in other words, I will know how to improve the next test, how to verify any error that I possibly made, how to read the overall statistical information on of the test, and etc.
