The fourth null hypothesis: There is no significant difference when ( α = 0.05) in the means of the teaching staff-members' responses, in regard to the main question of this study "The status and the specifications of the questions of an achievement exam from the points of view of the teaching staff-members of Palestine Technical University (PTUK), that is attributed to the variable of the "teaching experience"; to test this hypothesis, To test this hypothesis, one-way (ANOVA) was applied, and table (8) reveals that there are apparent significant differences when ( α = 0.05) in the means of the teaching staff-members' responses, in regard to the main question of this study" The status and the specifications of the questions of an achievement exam from the points of view of the teaching staff-members of Palestine Technical University (PTUK) "that are attributed to the variable of (teaching experience)" table (10) reveals that there are apparent differences in the responses of the subjects of the sample of this study in regard to "The status and the specifications of the questions of an achievement exam from the points of view of the teaching staff-members of Palestine Technical University (PTUK), that are attributed to the variable of (teaching experience)." to test whether these apparent differences carry statistical significance, one-way (ANOVA-test) was conducted :Table (11) shows that the differences in the means of the responses, which are attributed to the variable of (teaching experience), have no statistical differences because (F=0.28) and the value of (P= 0.83) which leads to accepting the third null hypothesis. The researchers believe that this result reinforces the fact that "teaching experience" cannot be counted for with the maxim of how many years spent in teaching, but rather how much of those years were exploited in deducing new outlooks by digesting the amount of feedback accumulated throughout those years spent in teaching; this result, the researchers believe, is a logical outcome of the absence of formidable educational anchors and well-established taxonomies; imitating the traditional heritage in preparing and writing exam questions yields a hindering factor towards exploiting years of the teaching experience.
