This paper is primarily conducted to evaluate the test reliability and the quality of test questions in Sample Vietnam National High School English Examination (VNHSEE) 2017. The test is categorized as both a norm – referenced placement test and criterion – referenced achievement test. Classical Test Theory (CTT) was applied to examine item analysis and estimate reliability coefficients of the sample test. Pilot testing was carried out with a convenience sample of 200 grade – 12 students at Hanoi – Amsterdam High School. Subsequently, descriptive analysis, item analysis, reliability coefficient computation and distractor analysis of the sample test were carried out. With respect to the difficulty and discrimination level, VNHSEE 2017 was rather easy to the sample group. As a norm – referenced test serving the purpose of placement, the sample test generally separated selected examinees rather effectively. However, with the aim of an achievement test, VNHSEE 2017 distinguished low – end students better than high – end students.
