Achievement tests measure the current status of individuals with respect to proficiency in given areas of knowledge or skill. Standardized achievement tests are carefully developed to include measurement of objectives common to many school systems. They measure knowledge of facts, concepts and principles. Achievement tests are primarily used in making classroom-level decisions and are designed with particular reference to the course objectives/learning goals of a specific class. The investigator conducted a study to construct and standardize the achievement test in Tamil for XI standard by following certain steps. The investigator framed 50 items initially on the selected topics of Tamil of class XI on the basis of the blue print prepared for the achievement test in the light of specific objectives. After the items were written the investigator consulted the language and subject experts for checking the items framed with respect to the faulty language or inadvertent defects in wording for and also to verify whether the items measure what was intended to be measured at the level of achievement. For trying out the preliminary draft of the achievement test, the test was given to the sample of 100 students of class XI. The difficulty value, and discriminating power, of the test items were determined On the basis of the preliminary draft of the achievement test was modified.
