Educators and teachers are trying their best to innovate new assessment techniques for sharpening students’ intelligence. Following this trend the Government of Bangladesh has also introduced creative question using the idea of Bloom’s revised taxonomy from 2011 at secondary level. However, is the technique really being creative enough to judge students’ creativity, is a question. This study tried to give some insights for the answer of that question. The objectives of this study were to examine the reflection of Bloom’s revised taxonomy in the social science questions of Secondary School Certificate Examination of Dhaka board and to compare the level of applying Bloom’s revised taxonomy in the questions before and after creative question has been set. The study was descriptive in nature and was primarily based on document analysis. Secondary School Certificate Examination question papers of Social Science of Dhaka board of the years 2009 to 2012 had been analyzed for the study. The findings were that in the year 2009 and 2010 most of the objective type questions were based on knowledge and understanding. On the other hand for subjective type questions few questions were found from understanding and analyzing besides knowledge based questions. A quite different scenario was in 2011 and 2012 where importance had been given to knowing, understanding, applying and analyzing in both subjective and objective questions; however, evaluating and creating was ignored again. So, for a quality education it has been suggested to use all the sub-domains of Cognitive domain of Bloom’s revised taxonomy in all the subjective ad objective questions of every subject of secondary level of Bangladesh.
