LTF12 flashcards
LTF12 · Build recall with a focused review session.
32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Verified outline
- An official exam blueprint whose domain titles, weightings, and target audience are each traceable to a named, dated primary source document.
- Placeholder domain
- A domain entry used when no official outline is available; it carries no subject-matter claims and exists only to preserve the required output structure.
- Weighting sum check
- A validation step confirming that all disclosed domain percentages total 100 percent, allowing a tolerance of plus or minus 0.5 percentage points.
- Source identifier
- A short label attached to every factual claim, recording which document and revision the fact came from, which enables later audit and correction.
- Retrieval date
- The calendar date on which a source document was accessed; it bounds how stale a recorded fact may be when content is re-reviewed.
- needs_review flag
- A status marker on a fact or item indicating the author could not confirm it with confidence, so it must be checked before publication.
- Provisional content
- Material authored under an unconfirmed outline; it is publishable only with a visible caveat and must be rechecked when a real outline arrives.
- Escalation trigger
- A predefined condition, such as two independent sources disagreeing on domain titles, that halts publication and forces human review of the exam.
- Self-contained item
- A question that supplies every fact, figure, and definition a candidate needs, so no exhibit, image, or external reference is required to answer it.
- Word-equivalent counting
- A length rule where one Latin-script word counts as one unit and every four Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters count as one unit.
- CJK conversion example
- A 25-word requirement equals at least 100 CJK characters, because four characters substitute for each required word when lengths are counted.
- Cheat sheet bullet range
- Each cheat sheet section must contain no fewer than six and no more than nine bullets, and exactly one section per listed domain.
- Flashcard term limit
- A flashcard term may contain at most six words, keeping the prompt short enough to scan quickly during a review session.
- Flashcard definition range
- Each flashcard definition must run at least 15 and at most 40 words, and must stand alone without pointing to other cards.
- Domain spread rule
- Cards are distributed across the listed domains so that no domain is left without coverage; allocation uses a base count plus remainder distribution.
- Base card allocation
- With 32 cards and N domains, each domain receives the floor of 32 divided by N, and the remainder goes to the earliest-numbered domains.
- Numeric threshold risk
- Durations, percentages, and imposed limits are the facts most likely to change between outline revisions, so unverified items should avoid relying on them.
- Version drift
- The gradual divergence between authored content and the current source document, which accumulates whenever revisions are not re-applied to existing items.
- Revision log
- A dated record of each change to an outline or item bank, including what changed, who changed it, and which source prompted it.
- Dual sourcing
- Confirming a fact against two independent documents before treating it as reliable; disagreements between them trigger review rather than a silent choice.
- Target audience field
- The part of an exam blueprint naming who the test is for, which governs difficulty, assumed prerequisites, and the vocabulary permitted in item stems.
- Blueprint
- The official document listing exam domains, their relative weights, and the number of items per domain; it anchors every authoring decision.
- Item stem
- The opening part of a question that states the problem or scenario; it should be answerable before the candidate reads the answer options.
- Distractor
- An incorrect answer option designed to attract candidates who hold a specific misconception, rather than a randomly generated wrong value.
- Misconception mapping
- Recording which error each distractor targets, so option sets can be reviewed for coverage of the plausible wrong answers candidates actually produce.
- Cognitive level tagging
- Labeling each item as recall, application, or analysis so the bank matches the emphasis the official blueprint specifies for each domain.
- Content hash
- A short fingerprint computed over a source document, used to detect silently changed files that keep the same filename and date.
- Publication block
- A rule preventing release of any item whose facts remain unconfirmed or whose domain identifier does not match the approved outline.
- Domain identifier
- A stable label linking each cheat sheet section and flashcard to exactly one outline domain, so coverage can be counted mechanically.
- Unverified status label
- A marker applied to an exam whose official content outline has not been obtained, warning readers that the listed structure may change.
- Outline completeness test
- An outline passes only when domain titles, weightings summing to 100 percent, and a named audience are all present and each is sourced.
- Re-review interval
- A scheduled date at which provisional content is rechecked against the current source outline, preventing unverified material from staying published indefinitely.
