INTRODUCTION
Language acquisition depends on a child’s cognitive, affective, and
psychomotor development. Therefore, child language development in the
primary education period must be defined by examining its cognitive aspect in
order to provide a better understanding of the process (Yapıcı, 2004, p. 38).
Students' levels of readiness must be carefully determined in order to provide
them with a number of skills which match the corresponding levels. Students’
cognitive competencies need to be determined so that future studies may be
conducted at the desired level and succeed in achieving their goals. Therefore,
written examination questions used in determining student success must be
prepared in order for them to gain basic and upper level skills such as
understanding, comprehension, interpreting, drawing cause and effect
