There is no day-to-day repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered during this examination.

The operating test shall not duplicate items from the applicants'

audit test(s)(see Section D.1.a).Overlap with the written examination and between different parts of the operating test is within acceptable limits.It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and competent applicants at the designated license level.2.WALK-THROUGH CRITERIA 3.SIMULATOR CRITERIA The associated simulator operating tests (scenario sets)have been reviewed in accordance with Form ES-301-4 and a copy is attached.b.Ensure that any changes from the previously approved systems and administrativethroughoutlines(Forms ES-301-1 and 2)have not caused the test to deviate from any of the acceptance criteria (e.g., item distribution, bank use, repetition from the last 2 NRC examinations)

specified on those forms and Form ES-201-2.¥DL."----DL Date 5/1/08 S-J-05 t?

[Refer to Section 0 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 (LOO)of each question usinga1-5 (easy-difficult)

rating scale (questions in the2-4 range are acceptable).

3.Check the afPropriate box if a flaw is identified:

he stem lacks su Icient focus 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 distractors is 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 box if a job content error is identified:

e question is not linked to the job requirements (i.e., the question has a valid KIA but, as written, is not operational in content).*The question requires the recall of knowledge that is too specific for the closed referencetestmode (i.e., 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 questionrequiresreverse logic or application compared to the job requirements.

5.Check questions that are sampled for conformance with the approved KIA and those that are designated SRO-only (KIA and license level mismatches are unacceptable).

6.Based on the reviewer's 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).RO/SRO Combined Question For system generic KA's, state the system then the generic part (Le.)026G2.2.22 (0 15).Containment Spray/Knowledge of LCD's and Safety Limits.Many of the U's were attributed to non-plausible distractors that could not be supported.

Many of the stems are inconsistent with the use of verbs such as"is and are."

[Refer to Section 0 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 usinga1-5 (easy-difficult)

rating scale (questions in the2-4 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 information is needed, or too much needless information).

The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).*Theanswer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.

One or more distractors is 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).Check the appropriate box if a job content error is identified:

The question is not linked to the job requirements (i.e., the question has a valid KIA 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 (i.e., 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 conformance with the approved KIA and those that are designated SRO-only (KIA and license level mismatches are unacceptable).

Based on the reviewer's judgment, is the question as written (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?
