Abstract	An activity was undertaken to develop written criterion-referenced tests for each of the instructional areas comprising the Fundamentals of Agribusiness and Natural Resources Occupations Program. Designed to be taught at the ninth grade level, the program consists of six major instructional areas: agribusiness management, animal science, plant science, soil science, agricultural mechanics, and leadership. Criterion-referenced tests were developed from the lists of competencies compiled for each instructional area. Project results were a list of specific competencies for the fundamentals of the Agribusiness and Natural Resources Occupations program and an item bank of multiple choice test items and answer keys for the six common core instructional areas. Criteria for selecting items from the item bank for testing purposes were recommended. (Two tables display summary statistics and complete item analyses for each question in the item bank. Appendixes, amounting to approximately four-fifths of the report, contain the list of competencies, test items, and answer keys for the common core instructional areas.) (YLB)
