Instructions for Completing This Table:
Check or mark any item(s) requiring a comment and explain the issue in the space provided using the guide below.
- 1. Check each JPM for appropriate administrative topic requirements (COO, EC, Rad, and EP) or safety function requirements and corresponding K/A. Mark in column 1.
(ES-301, D.3 and D.4)
- 2. Determine the level of difficulty (LOD) using an established 1 - 5 rating scale. Levels 1 and 5 represent an inappropriate (low or high) discriminatory level for the license that is being tested. Mark in column 2 (Appendix D, C.1.f)
- 3. In column 3, Attributes, check the appropriate box when an attribute is not met:
- The initial conditions and/or initiating cue is clear to ensure the operator understands the task and how to begin. (Appendix C, B.4)
- The JPM contains appropriate cues that clearly indicate when they should be provided to the examinee. Cues are objective and not leading. (Appendix C, D.1)
- All critical steps (elements) are properly identified.
- The scope of the task is not too narrow (N) or too broad (B).
- Excessive overlap does not occur with other parts of the operating test or written examination. (ES -301, D.1.a, and ES -301, D.2.a)
- The task performance standard clearly des cribes the expected outcome (i.e., end state). Each performance step identifies a standard for successful completion of the step.
- A valid marked up key was provided (e.g., graph interpretation, initialed steps for handouts).
- 4. For column 4, Job Content, c heck the appropriate box if the job content flaw does not meet the following elements:
- Topics are linked to the job content (e.g., not a disguised task, task required in real job).
- The JPM has meaningful performance requirements that will provide a legitimate basis for evaluating the applicant's understanding and ability to safely operate the plant. (ES -301, D.2.c)
- 5. Based on the reviewers judgment, is the JPM as written (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)nhancement, or (S)atisfactory? Mark the answer in column 5.
- 6. In column 6, provide a brief description of any (U)nacceptable or (E)nhancement rating from column 5.
Save initial review comments and detail subsequent comment resolution so that each exam -b ound JPM is marked by a (S)atisfactory resolution on this form.

5 Check this box if the level of difficulty is not appropriate.
6 Check this box if the event has a TS.

Instructions for Completing This Table:
Check or mark any item(s) requiring comment and explain the issue in the space provided.
1, 3, 5 For each simulator scenario, enter the total number of events (column 1), TS entries/actions (column 3), and CTs (column 5).
This number should match the respective scenario from the event -based scenario tables (the sum from columns 1, 6, and 7, respectively).
2, 4, 6 For each simulator scenario, evaluate each event, TS, and CT as (S)atisfactory, (E)nhance, or (U)nsatisfactory based on the following criteria:
- a. Events. Each event is described on a Form ES -D -2, including all switch manipulations, pertinent alarms, and verifiable actions. Event actions are balanced between at-the -contro ls and balance-of -plant applicants during the scenario. All event -related attributes on Form ES -301-4 are met. Enter the total number of unsatisfactory events in column 2.
- b. TS. A scenario includes at least two TS entries/actions across at least two different events. TS entries and actions are detailed on Form ES -D -2. Enter the total number of unsatisfactory TS entries/actions in column 4. (ES -301, D.5d)
- c. CT. Check that a scenario includes at least two preidentified CTs. This criterion is a target quantitative attribute, not an absolute minimum requirement.
Check that each CT is explicitly bounded on Form ES -D -2 with measurable performance standards (see Appendix D). Enter the total number of unsatisfactory CTs in column 6.
7 In column 7, calculate the percentage of unsatisfactory scenario elements: 100% 2 + 4 + 6 1 + 3 + 5
8 If the value in column 7 is > 20%, mark the scenario as (U)nsatisfactory in column 8. If column 7 is 20%, annotate with (E) nhancement or (S)atisfactory.
9 In column 9, explai n each unsatisfactory event, TS, and CT. Editorial comments can also be added here.
Save initial review comments and detail subsequent comment resolution so that each exam -bound scenario is marked by a (S)atisfactory resolution on this form.

- satisfactory, if the Op. Test Total % Unsat. is O0%
- unsatisfactory, if Op. Test Total % Unsat. is > 20%
- 6. Update this table and the tables above with post-exam changes if the as -administered operating test required content changes, including the following:

I suspect not. I think a better question might be 34AB-E11-001-1 is/is NOT required to be entered. Of course, you would need to give some information about Loop A RHR that might make is NOT possible.

Question was modified as suggested above.
Question is SAT. drl 10/22/2021 Refer to Section D of ES-401 and Appendix B for additional information regarding each of the following concepts:
- 1. Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) of each question as either (F)undamental or (H)igher cognitive level.
- 2. Enter the level of difficulty (LOD) of each question a 1 (easy) to 5 (difficult); questions with a difficulty between 2 and 4 are acceptable.
- 3. Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:
- Stem Focus: The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
- Cues: The stem or distractors contain cues (e.g., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length).
- T/F: The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
- Cred. Dist.: The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, and more than one is unacceptable.
- Partial: One or more distractors are partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by the stem).
- 4. Check the appropriate box if a job content flaw is identified:
- Job Link: The question is not linked to the job requirements (i.e., the question has a valid K/A but, as written, is not operational in content).
- Minutia: The question requires the recall of knowledge that is too specific for the closed -reference test mode (i.e., it is not required to be known from memory).
- #/Units: The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
- Backward: The question requires reverse logic or application compared to the job requirements.
- 5. Check questions that are sampled for conformance with the approved K/A and those K/As that are designated SRO -only. (K/A and license -level mismatches are unacceptable.)
- 6. Enter questions source: (B)ank, (M)odified, or (N)ew. Verify that (M)odified questions meet the criteria of Form ES -401, Section D.2.f.
- 7. Based on the reviewers judgment, is the qu estion, as written, (U)nsatisfactory (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?

No, this would be a difficulty level 5 question from memory in Mode 4/5 when asking about Critical Instrument Buses due to having to know all supported systems from the CIB and systems required to be operable in these modes from memory.

How about we change the 2nd question to per TS basis 3.8.3, the starting air system is required to have a minimum of __ successive EDG start attempts without recharging the air start receivers. Then toggle on 5 and 10.

Original comment:
- I disagree with your second part answer. Since SBLC is inop due to the tank level, leaving the tank without an operator does not change it s status. Even if it was not OOS due to level, the operator can leave if ordered as long as it is declared inoperable while the operator was gone.
- Also, the first question implies the answer to the second one (i.e., if it was not ok to reposition the valves why ask what time the system is inoperable).
- Perhaps you can simplify the question by telling them that valves are being manually manipulated and the level is at 35 inches and asking if the system is inoperable and why
- a. SBLC is operable
- b. SBLC is inoperable because manual valves are out of position
- c. SBLC is inoperable because level is too high
