The major results are as follows: The study found that Remember, Understand, Apply, and Analyze appeared in both exams. Evaluate and Create didn’t appear. The reason may be that Evaluate and Create weren’t easily measured in multiple choices. Items of Understand were the majority and they tended to be easy or average in difficulty. Only a few of them were difficult. However, as for items of Apply and Analyze combined, though they only accounted for 20% of test items, they tended to be difficult. When items on the two exams were compared, it was found that items of Apply increased at a faster speed in CAP than in BCT, which indicated its rising importance and this matched CAP’s goal of relating to students’ living experiences and activating their learning. Also, CAP tended to contain more items of Apply and Analyze, which showed that CAP included more items of higher cognitive levels than BCT did. It is suggested that teachers can design more difficult items of Understand and easy items of Apply and Analyze for students to prepare for CAP in the future.
