Steps in Preparing the Table of Specification

1. List down the topics covered for inclusion in the test.


2. Determine the objectives to be assessed by the test.
3. Specify the number of days/hours spent for teaching a particular topic.
4. Determine percentage allocation of the test items for each of the topics covered.
The formula applied is as follows:

% for a topic = Total Number Of Days/ Hours Spent


The total number of hours/days spent teaching the topic

Example: Mrs. Vee utilized 10 hours for teaching the unit on Pre Spanish Philippines.
She spent 2 hours in teaching the topic, “Early Filipinos and their Society”.
What percentage of test items should she allocate for the topic?
% for a topic = 2 divided by 10 = 0.20 (20%)

5. Determine the number of the items for each topic. This can be done by multiplying the percentage allocation for each topic.
This can be done by multiplying the percentage allocation for each topic by the total number of items to be constructed.

Example: Mrs. Garcia decided to prepare a 50- item test on the unit, “Pre Spanish Philippines”.
How many items should she write for the “Early Filipinos and their Society”?
50 items x 0.20 = 10 items
6. Distribute the numbers to the objectives. The number of items allocated for each objective
depends on the degree of importance attached by the teacher to it.
