Test Writing

This evening I was writing a practice test for a publishing company. The test contains eight sections. Given five sample tests, including one from my friend Annie, I had to figure out myself what is tested in each part. 

Then I recalled what I'd learned in the English Testing class, which I took at UOI in my second year. For each test item, there should be specifications for test writers to follow and continually review. Simply put, what is each item intended to test?

To ensure the validity of a test, the test writer needs to always have specifications on mind.
