This paper discuss the pedagogical practices involved in the production of quality items for institutional assessment item banks. The central aim was to verify the challenges and dualities in producing quality items for their effective use in institutional assessments or to compose their respective item banks. A documental bibliographic review and a search for data and information made available by the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research (INEP) were conducted. In addition, it was necessary to conduct a literature review pertinent to the topic to identify concepts and definition about large-scale and/or institutional evaluation. Responses were collected from a questionnaire made available via Google forms to faculty members who were item designers and reviewers. The results pointed to flaws in the processes and lack of experience of part of the teachers in the preparation of items for large-scale assessment.
