Before attending Mock Test please read the below guidline

1. Understand the Syllabus:

• Review the KSET syllabus for Paper-I to understand the topics and subtopics that are part of the Teaching and Research Aptitude section. Ensure your questions align with this syllabus.

2. Define Learning Objectives:

• Clearly define the learning objectives for each question. What specific knowledge or skills should the question assess? This will help you create focused questions.

3. Use Clear and Concise Language:

• Write questions and answer choices in clear, concise language. Avoid jargon or complex wording that might confuse candidates.

4. Create Plausible Distractors:

• For each MCQ, provide multiple answer choices (distractors). Distractors should be plausible and related to the content, but incorrect. This makes the question more challenging.

5. Follow a Consistent Format:

• Maintain a consistent format for your MCQs. Typically, each question should have a stem (the question itself) and a set of answer choices.

6. Use a Variety of Cognitive Levels:

• Include questions that assess different cognitive levels, such as recall, understanding, application, analysis, and evaluation. This ensures a well-rounded assessment.

7. Avoid Ambiguity:

• Ensure that questions are unambiguous and have only one correct answer. Ambiguous questions can lead to confusion.

8. Avoid Negative Wording:

• Avoid negative phrasing in both the stem and answer choices, as it can lead to misinterpretation. If necessary, use negative wording sparingly and carefully.

9. Include Practical Scenarios:

• Whenever possible, include questions that present practical teaching or research scenarios. This makes the questions more relevant to real-world situations.

10. Randomize Answer Order: – Randomize the order of answer choices to prevent candidates from guessing based on patterns.

11. Pilot Test Questions: – Before finalizing your questions, pilot test them with a small group of individuals to identify any issues with clarity or difficulty.

12. Provide Correct and Detailed Feedback: – If applicable, provide detailed explanations for correct and incorrect answers to help candidates learn from their mistakes.

13. Review and Revise: – Periodically review and revise your MCQs to ensure they remain up-to-date and aligned with the syllabus.

14. Consider Time Constraints: – Keep in mind that KSET is a timed exam. Ensure that candidates have a reasonable amount of time to read and answer each question.
