In this judgment, as many scholars argue, teacher-made tests (TMTs) are significant and more promissory than other tests. Besides their benefits, TMTs are prone to measurement error if they do not satisfy assumptions about the psychometric properties and performance of tests. Thus, this study aimed to survey the psychometric properties and performance of teacher-made tests (TMTs) in measuring students’ academic performance using pieces of evidence from three Ethiopian public universities. The researchers employed the post-positivist research paradigm, quantitative research approach, cross-sectional research design, purposive sampling size technique, CTT as the theoretical framework, and SPSS version 28 software as a statistical analysis tool. Empirical data reveal Ethiopian public universities' TMTs quality is below the expected CTT test item standard q...
