Abstract :

 Education is a process which ings about changes in the behavior of a society. It is a process which enables every individual to effectively participate in the activities of society and to make positive contribution to the progress of the society.

The quality , ability of the students can be access through certain kind of tests. To judge the level of understanding the test should be objective based rather than formal writing. Achievement tests are well suited to provide educators with objectives. E feed back as to how much students are learning and understanding. The most instructionally relevant achievement tests are those developed by the individual teacher for use with a particular class. Teachers can tailor  tests to emphasize the information they consider important and to match the ability levels of their students. If carefully constructed ,classroom achievement tests can provide teacher with accurate and useful information about the knowledge retained by their students.   Achievement may be defined as a change in behavior in a desired direction, learning results in changed responses to certain types of stimuli. Achievement may occur in variety of ways and variety of levels. There are two types of achievement tests– Teacher made and Standardized test. Constructing a good teacher made test it is very time consuming and difficult moreover, it is hard to understand why something so essential to the learning process has been virtually ignored in teacher preservice or in–services training. One of the problem with teacher made test is their emphasis on lower level thinking
