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. Garcia 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 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.
