comments section below and we’ll soon let you know the
correct answers!
Directions (Q. 1-5): Rearrange the following seven
sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) in the proper sequence to form a
meaningful paragraph; then answer the questions given below them.
(A) To elaborate briefly on these characteristics and dimensions that
the author is talking about -NRMs are general tests intended to be used to
classify students by percentile for measuring either aptitude or proficiency for
admissions into or placement within a programme.
(B) Contrastingly, the CRM, such as a locally produced achievement
test, measures absolute performance that is compared only with the learning
objective. Hence a perfect score is theoretically obtainable by all students
who have a mastery of the pre-specified material, or conversely, all students
may fail the test.
(C) In most of these books, the authors classify a measurement strategy
as either norm-referenced (NRM) or criterion-referenced (CRM).
(D) Another author points out how the type of interpretation that an
NRM offers is the relative performance of the students compared with that of
all the others resulting in, ideally, a bell curve distribution.
(E) Numerous books on constructing and using language tests have been
written by various authors.
(F) CRMs, on the other hand, are more specific achievement or
diagnostic tests intended to be used for motivating students by measuring to
what per cent they have achieved mastery of the taught or learned material.
(G) One of the authors clearly delineates the differences of these two
types by focusing on the categories of “test characteristics” and “logistical
dimensions”
