Abstract | This article describes the problems that the College Entrance Examination Board's Committee of Review for the Examinations in English encountered in creating a fair, objective, hour-long literature achievement test which would meet four objectives--to measure the breadth of a student's reading, his understanding of that reading, his response to literature, and his critical skills. Sample multiple-choice questions on Louise Bogan's poem "Medusa," illustrate (1) the kinds of questions chosen by the Committee, (2) the eight skills that the questions are designed to test, (3) the reasons for choosing these types of questions, and (4) the pattern of questioning which moves from testing sharpness of observation to depth of understanding.
