Introduction Curriculum is an important tool in fulfilling the national objective of education. The quality of education can be enhanced only if the curriculum is implemented effectively. An effective facilitation process, as well as an evaluation system, has a special role to play in the proper implementation of the curriculum. Therefore, it is important for the evaluation system to be effective in the full implementation of the curriculum.

Improving the evaluation system is essential to increase the quality and effectiveness of education.
In order to improve the assessment system, it is essential to conduct the assessment process by creating assessment tools covering all aspects of the curriculum. As examinations are considered an integral part of the assessment in our current educational process, it is necessary to formulate question papers on a scientific basis while preparing examination question papers.
The specification grid plays an important role in using the examination as a means of assessment by adopting the assessment process specified by the syllabus by including all the subjects of the syllabus in order to achieve the objectives of the syllabus. Before conducting the examination, it is necessary to prepare the question papers by considering what kind of questions to ask from which unit or text, what kind of question paper to prepare to evaluate the purpose, how many marks to give the question, how much time to determine which question.
