Instructions 3efer 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)undamentalor (H)igher cognitive level.

2. -

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).

3. Check the appropriate box if a psychometricflaw is identified:

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

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

The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.

One or more tkEnteftedistractorsis not credible.

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

4. 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 applicationcompared to the job requirements.

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

6. Based on the reviewers judgment, is the question as written (U)nacceptable(requiring repair or replacement),

.- in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?

7. At a minimum, explain any U ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).
