Bloom's taxonomy has been used for many years to categorize human learning into three broad domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. This paper discusses the categories in the cognitive domain as related to computer science testing. For many years the author has noticed that test questions and classroom activities are divided into different category levels. It has also been noticed that certain of these activities/questions are more easily accomplished by the students. This paper describes the categories and gives examples from computer science of each Bloom category. Finally the paper suggests that testing of different levels in Bloom's categories will test for student mastery of a subject. It also may eliminate the bimodal distribution of frequency versus scores that may be seen on student test scores.
