objectives and the instructional content as a guide.
To create a table of specification, you can follow these steps:
• Appropriately title the TOS – the name of the school, class,
subject, academic year and examination.
• Draw a table with four columns.
• Title the columns as Topic/Objective, Frequency (Days/Hours),
Number of Questions and Question Grouping from left to right.
• List out the topics or/and objectives in the first column, one per
row.
