1.0 Introduction
Assessment in Education is a process of collecting and recording data of
students’ performance level (Ellis P., 2021). Hence, a Year 3 English test was
executed at Sekolah Kebangsaan Bertam Indah on 7th April 2022 to fulfil the
requirements for EDUP3063i Task 2. 30 pupils have taken the test and
answered 20 multiple choice questions created based on the Taxonomy
Bloom’s level of cognitive and the topics that they have learned.
4.1 Mode
The mode is the value in the data set that occurs most frequently. In this data,
5 out of 30 pupils scored 15/20.

19, 18, 18, 17, 16, 16, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 14, 14, 14, 14, 13, 13, 11, 10, 10,
10, 10, 9, 9, 9, 7, 7, 7, 5, 4
= 15
4.2 Mean
The mean of a data set is the average value. It is calculated by dividing the
sum of all values in a data set by the number of values.
= 19 + 18 + 18 + 17 + 16 + 16 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 14 + 14 + 14 + 14 +
13 + 13 + 11 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 5 + 4
30
= 369 / 30
= 12.3
4.3 Median
The median of a data set is the value that is at the middle of a data set
arranged in an order.
= 19, 18, 18, 17, 16, 16, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 14, 14, 14, 14, 13, 13, 11, 10, 10,
10, 10, 9, 9, 9, 7, 7, 7, 5, 4
= (14 + 13) / 2
= 13.5

The interpretation of the discrimination index of the question shows that fairly
curated questions dominate the exam paper by 40%. In contrast,
unsatisfactory questions that are to be analyzed their credibility in order to be
either restored or revised occupy the smallest weightage of the exam paper
by 5%. 25% of the exam paper are occupied by the poor questions that are to
be discarded and changed while 30% of the exam paper is occupied by the
good questions that can be stored.

The interpretation of the difficulty index of the exam question shows that
moderate and very easy questions dominate the assessment by 30%.
Referring to the ratio of questions’ difficulty level which 2:5:3
(easy:moderate:difficult), the moderate level questions supposedly adhere to
the weightage set by the ratio. However, it is found that the percentage of the
very easy questions has cross the limit and some very easy questions should
be eliminated or changed.
As for difficult and very difficult questions, the combination of the both
percentages would lead to 30%, almost surpassing the highest percentage
possessed by the moderate questions and defeating the supposed ratio of
questions’ difficulty level. However, if there were to be an elimination of four
9
questions of the easy and very easy questions so they can be replaced with
newly curated moderate questions, the current items for difficult and very
difficult questions would properly adhere to the ratio of questions’ difficulty
level.
An alteration of question numbers can also be done to give the exam paper a
better arrangement where the easy questions are placed at the beginning of
the paper, moderate and difficult questions interlude from the middle until the
end of the paper to avoid pupils from having a second guessing with the
difficulty level of the questions.

options contributes to the quality of a multiple choice item.

10.0 Performance of pupils as a whole class
Overall, the performance of pupils as a whole class can be categorized as
average. There is a fair distribution throughout the class in which about one
third of the class have scored excellently, another about one third in the
satisfaction group and a few who are figured out to be weak and might need a
little help. Other than the questionable quality of the paper, there might just be
some external factors that were distracting the pupils’ focus when answering
the examination as they weren’t properly prepared for the test.
12.0 Conclusion
To conclude, this assessment was successfully done to validate the quality of
the English Year 3 exam questions. This task has proven that it is significant
to have the knowledge to create a set of questions so pupils’ cognitive level
can be assessed in the most genuine way possible.
