摘要：The present study has been carried out with the aim of evaluating the questions of the common biology exams administered at the end of each term, in terms of item analysis, reliability coefficient and objectives. Within this scope, the questions of the common biology exam administered across all 9 th and 11 th grade students at the end of the first term of 2012-2013 education year were analyzed. With the application of the common exam questions for 9 th grade to 127 students and those for 11 th grade to 129 students in another Anatolian High School, item difficulty index (P), item discrimination index (D), Spearman Brown and KR-20 reliability coefficients were determined while the qualities of the questions were assessed within the framework of the curriculum. In conclusion, it was determined that the exam questions for the 9 th grade were of a medium-level difficulty, had distinctive characteristics, content validity and reliability while the questions for the 11 th grade were easy but not distinctive though their reliability coefficient was sufficient; the content validity was also not ensured fully. It is considered that the number of application-oriented questions was unnecessarily more than needed, thus the number of reasoning questions should be increased
