Data were collected from 100 students of Grade 9th and 10th from the schools of Lahore city using convenient sampling technique. Data collected on the papers developed by Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education for the year of 2015 and 2016. Item analyses were performed using Conquest software. Findings ofthe study shows that in the question papers conducted by Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education the majority questions were measuring the student abilities of knowledge and comprehension and only few questions were given to measure the student abilities to analyze, synthesize and evaluate, and this can be very helpful for the policy makers. Result of item analysis shows that many questions were not in the acceptable range of item difficulty and item discrimination. Items in the question papers were either too easy or too difficult. Findings revealed that the papers conducted and administered by Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education were not up to the mark, with reference to Bloom’s taxonomy. The researcher recommended to train the assessment committee/panel developing the items.  \nKeywords: Bloom’s Taxonomy, Question Papers, Item Analysis, Cognitive Domain, Computer Science, assessment of school students  \n*PhD Scholar, Institute of Education and Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore  \n** Professor, University of Lahore, Lahore  \nIntroduction  \nIn Pakistan, Educators may face the challenges in analyzing that whether the question items fulfilling the requirements of Blooms taxonomy at different cognitive levels. This article analyzed the papers of computer science of secondary level according to the Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive domain followed by item analysis to measure psychometric qualities of the test items. The study has two parts; first the researcher analyzed the papers with reference to Blooms taxonomy and second the measurement of psychometrics properties (item difficulty and discrimination index) of each test item.  \nTaxonomy is an attempt to classify the levels and forms of learning. Bloom’s taxonomy is developed by Bloom, he was an educational Psychologist, and he was totally against the rote learning and memorization, so he formed a taxonomy which is knows as Blooms taxonomy. (Mehmood, Iqbal, Abdullah & Farooq, 2016) . Bloom’s taxonomy has three levels. The cognitive domain, affective domain and psychomotor domain, and each of these domains has levels. It is recommended that one cannot achieve the higher levels until below them is covered. Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive domain has six levels from easy to complex. These are Knowledge, Understanding, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Each one of them is described below.  \nKnowledge is the lowest level of cognitive domain. Memorization comes in it. For example, if a teacher teaches a topic to the student and the other day raised some questions related to that topic, this recall of the lesson will be ‘knowledge’. Understanding is not simply based on rote learning, rather the learner is expected to interpret the information in his/her own words. For example, if a student is able to interpret information in his/her own words and it understandable to the listener that we can say the students developed understanding ability. Application means that students should be able to apply the knowledge in different situations. Analysis means to break down the information into parts and then find out its relationship, select the important points, and exclude all irrelevant information. Synthesis means to build a new thing and give shape to knowledge. It includes creativity.
