32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Exam blueprint
- A published table mapping each content domain to the percentage of scored items it contributes, defining what the exam measures and how much each area counts.
- Authorization to test
- A time-limited permission issued after eligibility approval that lets a candidate schedule and sit for the exam within a defined window.
- Pretest items
- Unscored items embedded in the operational form to gather performance data; they look identical to scored items and never affect the candidate's result.
- Seat time versus appointment
- Seat time covers the full time in the testing room including tutorial and survey; appointment time is the scheduled block shown to the candidate.
- Scaled score
- A transformed score placed on a common reporting scale so results from different exam forms can be compared against a fixed passing standard.
- Retake waiting period
- The mandatory interval a candidate must wait after a failed attempt before scheduling again, defined in program policy alongside attempt limits.
- Multiple-choice item
- An item with a stem posing a problem and several options, exactly one of which is the keyed correct answer.
- Multiple-response item
- An item requiring selection of more than one correct option; scoring is typically all-or-nothing unless a documented partial-credit rule applies.
- Case set
- A group of items sharing one scenario or stimulus; each linked item must be answerable independently of performance on the others.
- Ordered-response item
- A format requiring the candidate to arrange steps or elements in correct sequence, usually scored correct only when the entire order is right.
- Constructed-response item
- An open-ended item scored against a rubric with defined score points and exemplar responses rather than against a single keyed option.
- Distractor
- An incorrect option written to attract candidates who hold a specific misconception, making the item diagnostic rather than merely difficult.
- Item stem
- The opening portion of an item that presents the problem or question; it must be answerable before the candidate reads the options.
- Negative stem
- A stem asking what is NOT true or EXCEPT; discouraged because it invites misreading, and when used the negative word is emphasized.
- Option parallelism
- The rule that all options match in grammar, length, and structure so form alone does not reveal or obscure the correct answer.
- All of the above
- An option set pattern that enables test-wise guessing and distorts difficulty; generally prohibited in high-stakes item writing standards.
- Content review
- A pre-field-test review by subject-matter experts confirming each item's accuracy, currency, and alignment to the targeted objective.
- Item difficulty p-value
- The proportion of examinees answering an item correctly; values near 0.5 maximize information for a dichotomously scored item.
- Point-biserial
- A correlation between performance on a single item and total test score, used as an index of how well an item discriminates.
- KR-20
- A reliability coefficient for dichotomously scored tests estimating internal consistency; low values signal inconsistent measurement across items.
- Standard error of measurement
- An estimate of score variability due to measurement error, computed from the test standard deviation and reliability, used to build confidence bands.
- Angoff method
- A standard-setting procedure in which experts estimate the probability that a minimally competent candidate answers each item correctly; the mean sets the cut score.
- Bookmark method
- A standard-setting approach that orders items by difficulty and has panelists mark the point where a borderline candidate would begin to fail.
- Item response theory
- A family of models estimating item difficulty, discrimination, and guessing alongside person ability, enabling form-independent scaling and equating.
- Equating
- A statistical procedure placing scores from different exam forms on a common scale so the passing standard stays constant across administrations.
- Item exposure control
- A policy limiting how often any item appears on live forms, reducing the value of memorized content and protecting the item bank.
- Differential item functioning
- A statistical flag showing that examinees of equal ability from different groups perform differently on an item, prompting fairness review.
- Construct-irrelevant content
- Material in an item that adds difficulty unrelated to the skill being measured, such as obscure idioms or unrelated cultural references.
- Test security incident
- Any event such as content sharing, misconduct, or a delivery failure that threatens exam integrity and must be documented and adjudicated.
- Item banking
- A managed repository of items with metadata, version history, and status flags so compromised or retired items cannot return to live use.
- Candidate handbook
- The controlling published document describing eligibility, scheduling, scoring, retakes, and appeals; it governs when other communications conflict.
- Appeals policy
- A published procedure stating the grounds for appeal, the filing deadline, required evidence, and who renders the final decision.
