Instructions

[Refer to Section D of ES-401 and Appendix B for additional information regarding each of the following concepts.]

Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) of each question as either (F)undamental or (H)igher cognitive level.

Enter the level of difficulty (LOD) of each question using a 1- 5 (easy difficult) rating scale (questions in the 2 - 4 range are acceptable).

Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:

The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more informationis needed, or too much needless information).

The stem or distractors contain cues (Le., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).

The answer choices are a collection of unrelated truelfalse statements.

The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repalred, more than one is unacceptable.

One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem).

Check the appropriate box if a job content error is identified:

The question is not linked to the job requirements (Le., the question has a valid WA but, as written, is not operational in content).

The question requires the recall of knowledge that is too specific for the closed reference test mode (Le., it is not required to be known from memory).

The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or Inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).

The question requires reverse logic or application compared to the job requirements.

Check questions that are sampled for conformancewith the approved WA and those that are designatedSRO-only (WA and license level mismatches are unacceptable).

Based on the reviewer's judgment,Is the question as written (U)nsatisfactory (requiringrepair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorialenhancement, or (S)atisfactory?

At a mlnimum, explain any "U" ratings (e.g., how the Appendix 6 psychometric attributes are not being met).
