This report describes the process of test development for assessing the learning achievement of the students of class X. Considering the learning objectives as the basis for testing the students this instrument developed four test batteries – one each for Bangla, English, mathematics, and everyday science. Each battery contains 20 items totalling 80 for the whole test. Subject-wise reliability of the instrument varied from 0.75-0.89. However, the whole test was found 95% reliable. Content validity of the test items was ensured by following the national learning objectives, and by the teachers and the national level experts. Finally, the minimum criterion for each subject was set through subject-wise median analysis. A total of 253 students were brought under the trial – 104 from the madrasas and 149 from the schools. Only 54 of them could be brought under re-test for item reliability assessment. The re-test was conducted after 10 days of the test.
