(TOS)
 Why do we prepare TOS?
 validity of teacher-made tests

 alignment to the learning competencies discussed

 identify the domain being measured

 fair representative sample questions in each

learning competencies

 weight the different areas based on their

importance
 What is TOS?
 A test blueprint
 A plan prepared by the teacher as a basis for test
construction
 It describes the topics to be covered by a test and
the number of items or points which will be
associated with each learning competency
 A table that helps teacher align learning
competencies, instructions and assessment
What you need to have in making TOS:

4. Classify plants 3
according to their
characteristics
TOTAL 10 30

Divide the number of items to the total number of days the teacher
has spent in teaching the lessons.

Learning Competency #1 was taught in 2 days;

thus, 2(# of days spent) multiplied by 3(ratio) = 6 (# of test items)
2 x 3= 6
Do the same process for LC #2,3 & 4

Domain of Learning
 Knowledge – answers the questions what, where, when
and who
( recall, define, describe, identify, label, enumerate, match,
name)

 Process – answers the question how

(solve, outline, explain, summarize, predict, translate)

To solve the percentage, divide the number of items per topic to its
total: LC# 1 ( 6÷ 30 = 0.2 X 100 = 20%
LC# 3 ( 9 ÷30 = 0.3 X 100 = 30%
