Made a few comments in the following attachment. Some points to consider...PRACTICALITY - your test is five pages long. Use your calculator and figure how much this is going to cost to copy. FACE VALIDITY - the vocabulary section looks like something copied from a test that is totally unrelated. RELIABILITY - I have never seen a vocabulary test (or any test) in which a student can bring a dictionary. Unless your learning objective/outcome is being able to use a dictionary, I don't know what else you would be assessing. CONTENT VALIDITY: Your test blueprint did not specify the objectives, so I'm not at all clear about what you are actually testing in the questions. Make sure you can justify the test item by linking it directly to a learning objective/outcome in class.

Please be sure that you get a friend to take the test as a student and give you some feedback. There were instances were there were two possible answers to one question, and some questions where at least two distractors were non-sensical.
