The pilot testing was conducted forgrammatical checking and compatibility bench marking while the test was try-out tested for item analysis. Theoverall number of test items was 83. The test difficulty indices ranged from 0.24 to 0.79 and discrimination indiceswere within 0.22 to 0.65. The content validity index for the 83 items was 0.76 and the Kappa statistic reliabilityvalue of the test was 0.83. The test was found to be of good quality, valid and highly reliable.
