Abstract

The main purpose of this investigation was to study the levels of cognitive domain and to analysis psychometric characteristics of test items in final examinations of Arabic, calculus and biology of the third grade high school girls in three different socio-economic areas in Khuzestan, Iran. A total of 3000 answer sheets which were randomly selected from the pools of Arabic, calculus and biology answer sheets, (one 1000 of each), served as three samples of this study. The findings showed that the item characteristics (item difficulty and item discrimination) were reported to be satisfactory. The discrimination indices of most of the items could differentiate between the high and low abilities groups (two criterion groups). The results also indicated that the test scores were highly reliable. The content validity of the test scores showed that the test constructors were able to provide a balance between the objectives and the contents of the lessons base on table of specification. It is therefore recommended that the test constructors read these findings and to be ware of the advantages and limitations of this study in order to be able to improve their abilities in constricting test items in future.
