following the test development processrecommended by the Standards for designing assessments on solving rectilinear and angularmotion problems. By adopting the symbolic problem-solving approach, we were able toincorporate a more diverse range of problems, while maintaining a focus on the pertinent construct.Consequently, this approach offers the advantage of improving both validity and reliability incomparison to traditional methods. Moreover, we have highlighted the importance of providingstudents with effective scaffolding to improve their skills in symbolic problem-solving. Thesestrategies not only foster a deeper understanding of the subject matter but also enable students toovercome the challenges often associated with algebraic difficulties
