Abstract
The CAUQ-Committee of Accreditation of University Qualification set in FIJI by Fiji Higher Education Commission stresses the importance of internal moderation of a testing tool by putting it as follows- “Moderation internal…checking the validity of assessment tools and the allocation of grades by reference to colleagues within the institution.” Although checking the validity of allocation of grades was not done mainly because of the greater role played by subjectivity in marking and also because the markers might not like it, the authors decided to focus on checking the validity of assessment tool that is the question paper used for mid-Trimester test of B. Ed primary student teachers in Trimester –I of 2015 cohort. The test question paper was qualitatively as well as quantitatively investigated for “postmortem” to arrive at some conclusions.
