S ummary . The optimum composition of criterion‐referenced tests in terms of the statistical parameters of the items is determined theoretically. A practical procedure for pre‐testing and selecting items to achieve this optimum composition is discussed. The paper then describes an empirical investigation to determine the usefulness of this procedure. The results showed that a test constructed by this procedure was more effective than 93 out of 100 tests constructed by selecting items at random from a domain
