Airasian (1994) lists six decisions usually made by the classroom teacher in the test development process: 1. what to test, 2. how much emphasis to give to various objectives, 3. what type of assessment (or type of questions) to use, 4. how much time to allocate for the assessment, 5. how to prepare the students, and 6. whether to use the test from the textbook publisher or to create your own. Other decisions, such as whether to use a separate answer sheet, arise later.
