English Quiz for Banking entrance exams

Dear readers,

This quiz consists of questions from actual
past years’ papers of Banking entrance exams. Leave your answers/ responses in
the comments section below and soon we’ll 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”
