Thus, a call for an evaluation of students' acquired competency is essential. That's why, there is a need for the construction of assessment tools. In this study, a valid, reliable, and item quality achievement test in General Mathematics was developed. Eight experts examined the test for its improvement and refinement. The test was pilot-tested to 425 senior high school students, was item analyzed, and was subjected to a reliability test. Forty questions were included in the final form of the test. The average item difficulty was 0.40, which means intermediate while the average item distinctiveness was 0.34, which signifies well items. Moreover, the reliability coefficient of the test was 0. 84, which indicates that the items of the constructed test have acceptable value for internal consistency. The result suggests that the developed test is an excellent tool for classroom assessment.  \nKeywords: assessment tool, reliability, validity, item analysis, mathematics  \nINTRODUCTION  \nAssessing students' performance is essential in the teaching-learning process. Without this process, students, teachers, and other school stakeholders will have no idea how well or bad they perform According to Wiliam (2011), over the past years, assessment may mean evaluating a series of completed teaching-learning activities in terms of its effectiveness. Pandra, Sugiman, and Mardapi (2017) noted that assessment of learning outcomes should motivate and condition students and teachers in the way that feedbacking may provide insightful data for them. Thus, assessment is vital (Khoshaim & Rashid, 2016) and a critical part of the instruction (Süral, 2016) . This idea is further supported in the Department of Education Order No. 8 detailing that assessment “allows the teachers to track students’ progress... and assessment informs the learners, their parents and their guardians of their progress… to promote self-reflection and personal accountability among students about their learning, and to provide bases for the profiling of student performance on the learning competencies and standards of the curriculum.\" (Department of Education, 2015) .  \nTesting students is one of the ways of assessment as it measures their acquired level of knowledge and skills. Tests are the known instruments to evaluate the learning capability, performance, and academic level of the students (Hanif, Khan, Masroor, & Amjad, 2017) . According to Quaigrain and Arhin (2017), tests are administered to be able to determine a student's knowledge about something. That is why, it follows a standardized process of evaluation and scoring, ensuring that the constructed test is of quality. Thus, as an assessment tool to obtain data about learners' development, test quality should be well aligned to the stipulated curriculum which considers both basic and core competencies for this will be used in improving the current learning system (Pandra, Sugiman, & Mardapi, 2017) .  \nCitation: Mamolo, L.
