The document discusses achievement tests, which are used by teachers to evaluate how much students have learned in a particular subject or group of subjects. Achievement tests measure students' knowledge, understanding, and skills. They can be standardized tests that are the same for all students, or teacher-made tests tailored for a specific classroom. When constructing an achievement test, teachers must carefully plan the objectives, content coverage, question types, timing, and use a blueprint to organize the test items.
