Abstract

This study systematically investigated the quality of a college English placement exam paper from the test theory perspective: reliability, validity, difficulty, and discrimination. The results emphasized the need to conduct scientific analyses of the scores of English tests to improve the quality and effectiveness of future teaching. These analyses are essential for enhancing the overall quality and effectiveness of future teaching practices in the field of college English. By identifying areas for improvement in the exam paper, educators can take targeted measures to refine their assessment tools, ultimately leading to more accurate evaluations and better-informed instructional strategies.
