Explanation
Test length varies with the purpose of the test, kinds of items used, age and ability of pupils, and the instructional objective tested, so 1, 2, 4 and 5 fit.
The subject teacher's own knowledge does not set the length of the test.
A diagnostic test differs in length from an achievement test by purpose.
Objective items pack more questions into the same time than essay items.
Younger or less able pupils need shorter tests.
Test length ties directly to reliability and adequate content sampling.
