Job AnalysisThrough a Job Analysis survey, specific key responsibilities and competencies required for effective performance in a specialized planning field are identified. Item Writing WorkshopsA panel of SMEs is recruited and is trained to write items (items=test questions) during an Item Writing Workshop. During the workshop, a I conduct item writing training and facilitate the item writing process. SMEs then author questions on their own time and submit them for editing and review. Each item is designed to be an accurate measure of knowledge and relevancy to the goals of the testing program, as well as psychometrically sound and legally defensible.Item ReviewA separate panel of SMEs — under the direction of myself, reviews each newly written test item for accuracy, clarity, valid linkage to the test specifications and accuracy of the identified key. SMEs then revise items in order to meet these requirements.Psychometric and Language Item EditingI verify that each item conforms to recognized psychometric item writing guidelines and does not favor any particular nationality, race, religion, or gender. During the editing process, Prometric editors check all items for grammar, usage, readability, clarity, and consistency of usage. Once the items are selected for inclusion, a Prometric test developer constructs the test in accordance with the test specifications.Standard Setting / Cut Score AnalysisI ran workshops with standard setting panel of SMEs to create and determine the pass-fail standards and the associated cut scores for the test. I review the test periodically to ensure that it remains a relevant and accurate measure of candidates' expertise in the field. As in early stages of the test development process, I again form a panel of SMEs to reexamine performance discrepancies and reassess issues such as the fairness, reliability, and validity of test items with the aim of determining whether adjustments to the test or cut score are necessary.
