Summary:Through out the world, Mathematics is taught as one of the subjects in schools, colleges and universities. But, majority of the students feel that mathematics is a difficult subject which leads to higher failure methods. Testing of students' Mathematics knowledge gleaned from school curriculum is one way of evaluating the whole programme of mathematics. However teacher made tests are not often scientific and biases may inadvertently creep into them. So an achievement test in mathematics for IX class on the topic "Surface Areas and Volumes" was prepared by the investigator herself to evaluate the pupils' Knowledge, Comprehension, and Application. The reliability of the test was found to be high(r=.97).
