All Regional Joint Directors of School Education and District Educational
Officers in the state are informed that the second class room based assessment
(CBA2)/ Formative Assessment 3, is to be re-scheduled from 23.01.2024 to
29.01.2024.
In this connection, the following test design structure has been finalized by
the State Assessment Cell (SAC).
Test Design Structure for FA3/CBA2:
• The assessment tools will be designed to assess grade-specific skills.
• The assessment tool will include both Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs)
and Free-Response Questions (FRs).
• For Grade 3 to 8, each MCQ will have 4 options, and there will be only one
correct answer for each question. For Grade 1 and 2, MCQs will have 3
options, and there will be only one correct answer for each question.
• For the formative assessment, the number of MCQs has been set at 10.
This allows for testing essential concepts while giving students sufficient
time to answer the questions. It also takes into account the limited number
of chapters being tested in each formative assessment.
The questions used in the assessments are categorized based on the
cognitive abilities they require for solving them. These categories are Mechanical
(M), Understanding (U), and Application (A).
Mechanical (M) questions typically assess basic knowledge and recall of
facts. These questions may involve straightforward information retrieval or
simple calculations.
Understanding (U) questions assess the students’ comprehension and
interpretation of concepts. They require students to e plain, describe, or
summarize information, demonstrate understanding of relationships, or make
connections between diferent ideas.
Application (A) questions assess the students’ ability to apply their
knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems or perform tasks.
These
questions require students to analyze situations, make judgments, apply
principles or rules, or solve comple problems using their acquired knowledge
and understanding.
A detailed e planation of the types of questions and their characteristics can be
found here, which provides further guidance on how to classify and design
questions according to the cognitive abilities they demand
