The aim of every educational program/process is to bring desired changes in students’ behaviors. These changes are mentioned in the form of educational goals and objectives in a curriculum. But how we would know that whether these educational goals and objectives have been successfully achieved or not at the end of any educational episode. To answer this question we would need some tools of assessment and measurement. Classroom tests and standardized test are those tool which can be used for this purpose. They play a crucial role in the process of learning and instructions. They can be used for measuring a variety of learning outcomes, ranging from simple to complex and higher-order skills. In other words, different tests and assessment tools are used for measuring different learning outcomes at different levels. So the same type of test items could not be used for measuring all types of learning outcomes. There are mainly two types of test items which are extensively used in the field of education i.e. objective type test items and subjective or essay type test items.
