With current education reforms, teachers feel pressure to educate students who can successfully perform on standardized tests. To help prepare students, many teachers access test item banks that contain questions similar to those on the standardized tests. A census study investigated the extent North Carolina agriculture education teachers used test item bank questions on both formative and summative assessments, the internal and external motivating factors that influenced test item bank usage, and their perceptions regarding the test item bank. Findings showed that test item bank questions are overly used on both formative and summative assessments for a variety of reasons. Both internal and external factors influenced teachers' use of test item bank questions on assessments. Overall, teachers have a positive viewpoint regarding the use of test item banks in the classroom setting; however, did not have a positive viewpoint of the CTE Post Assessment.
