“…Also, Opara and Magnus (2017) researched the development and validation of mathematics test for primary six pupils which showed the value of difficult indices of MAT items ranged from 0.27 to 0.68. Eleje, Esomonu, Agu, Okoye, Obasi, and Onah (2016) researched on development and validation of a test on Diagnostic Economics Test for senior secondary schools. The study had difficulty indices range from 0.24 to 0.79.…”

So, there is lack of test of achievement in quantitative economics for secondary schools to the best of our knowledge.…”
