Abstract: Future math teachers often struggle with their final calculus exams, highlighting the need for improved assessment methods. This study developed a new multiple-choice calculus test specifically for college students training to be high school math teachers. The primary aim was to create and validate a Calculus 1 final exam for second-year students in the Bachelor of Secondary Education program, majoring in Mathematics, at Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology. A 100-item multiple-choice test was designed based on the approved syllabus and evaluated by three experts for content refinement and 15 student validators for structure. The test’s validity was deemed almost perfect and highly acceptable. It was pilot-tested with 77 students, and item analysis determined the difficulty index, discrimination index, and reliability. Following adjustments, 54 questions were included in the final test form. The reliability coefficient of 0.895 indicates high internal consistency, suggesting that the developed test questionnaire is an excellent tool for classroom assessment.
