Valid and reliable test is an essential instrument to measure the student’s learning achievement. Standardized test available at the time it is required will make the instructional process more effective and efficient. This study aims at building a test bank with standardized tests for Development Psychology Course as one of Basic Courses for Education that has to be taken by all students of education. The test items were developed by employing the method which could expose psychometric property or psychomotoric characteristics of each item. For this purpose 95 test items were tried out to 224 students of State University of Jakarta.
