I n order to accomplish t h i s o b j e c t i v e , three s e t s of p a r a l l e l t e s t s were constructed and administered to 363 c l a ss t h r e e pupils for the f i r s t try-out. It was on t h i s b a s i s item a n a l y s i s was conducted and consequently r e s u l t e d in coming up with two s e t s of p a r a l l e l t e s t s which were f i n a l l y administered to 772 c l a s s t h r e e pupils in 20 primary schools randomly s e l e c t e d in Zaria Local Government Area of K a d u n t a state.
