ABSTRACT

The main aim of this minor thesis is to evaluate the reliability of the final Achievement Computer-based MCQs Test 1 for the 4th semester non-English majors at Hanoi University of Business and Technology.

In order to achieve this aim, a combination of both qualitative and quantitative research methods were adopted. The findings indicate that there is a certain degree of unreliability in the final achievement computer-based MCQs test1 and there are two main factors that cause the unreliability including test item quality and test- takers’ performance.

Having carefully considered a thorough analysis of the collected data, the author made some suggestions in order to improve the quality of the final achievement test and the MCQs test 1 for the non-majors of English in the 4th semester in Hanoi University of Business and Technology. Firstly, the test objectives, sections and skill weight should be adjusted to be more compatible with the course objectives and the syllabus. Secondly, a testing committee should be set up for the construction and development of a multi choice item bank including test items which are of good p-value and discrimination value.
