ABSTRACT :
This paper advocates for a transformative shift in assessment methodologies by integrating Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) and Short Answer Questions (SAQs), considering optimal sample sizes, and adopting eassessment platforms. It emphasizes surpassing minimum sample size requirements for robust psychometric analyses and highlights the flexibility of e-assessment platforms for enhanced precision. Integrating MCQs and SAQs within an e-assessment framework equips item developers with comprehensive information for improvements and empowers psychometricians with advanced analysis capabilities. The discussion extends to challenges and advancements in implementing these question formats in Albanian state exams, emphasizing the need for enhanced competence in test development and thorough psychometric analysis.
