Dear Mark,
Enclosed please find page 1-3 ofES-201-3 Examination Security Forms.All signatures needed have been obtained.I might mention that page 3 contains both copied and original signatures.
I could get page 3 resigned if required.Please advise.I want to thank you and Bruno for your assistance in preparing the exam.Obviously, the results are not what ether of us wanted or expected, but that's not for the lack of trying.We will go forward with our root cause at North Anna and apply the lessons learned to our next exam.Where possible, we will attempt to effect changes in the process-both from a utility and a regulatory perspective.
Perhaps we will meet in Atlanta during the upcoming workshop on examination development.
Sincerely,Walt Shura Supervisor Nuclear Training North Anna Power Station

rating scale (questions in the2-4 range are acceptable).
3.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).*The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
- The distractors are not credible;single implausible distractors should be repaired, 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).4.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.
