Considerations for Creating Paper-Pencil Tests            Renee Robinson, Saint Xavier University, Chicago, IL ABSTRACT This paper provides information for creating effective teacher-made, paper-pencil tests. Consequently, an examination of the importance of careful test preparation and the relationship between assessment, instructional improvement, and student learning are discussed. The focus of this paper is to assist faculty, who may not have been exposed to test writing practices in their graduate studies or professional development activities, by presenting specific topics of consideration when developing their own paper-pencil tests.
