Launch Your Exam with a Simple 8-Step Process in a Fast, Easy, and Hassle-Free way
Clearly establish what the test will measure, why it is important, and who the intended test-taker population is. This foundational understanding sets a clear direction for the entire development process. Conduct a Job Task Analysis (JTA) to identify the key tasks, skills, and knowledge areas that the test must address. JTA ensures that exam content remains job-relevant and competency-focused.
Translate the results of the JTA into a detailed blueprint. Define domains, content weightings, and item distributions to guide item development and ensure objective, balanced assessments. The blueprint provides a visual framework of content distribution, while the specification also outlines statistical requirements, helping to avoid common development pitfalls.
Design the test by closely following the blueprint and specification, ensuring that the test aligns with the established goals. Evaluate the item pool to ensure it meets quality standards necessary to support the test. Standard setting activities can also be initiated at this stage.
Using test specification and design structure, assemble test forms following predefined rules. Ensure balanced content coverage and the correct statistical distribution to maintain fairness and validity.
- Multi-form Simulation: Conduct large-scale simulations of multiple test forms under operational conditions to ensure consistency, reliability, and early detection of content or performance issues.
- Secure Environment Testing: Perform full walkthroughs in a secure, emulated environment to verify usability, rule enforcement, and system functionality under near-live conditions.
Following the review, test forms either receive approval or are revised based on structured feedback. Approval confirms that the test meets all quality, content, and statistical requirements.
If the test is new, conduct a pilot test to gather real-world performance data. For established tests, finalize and securely publish the exam with version control, scheduled releases, and strict access restrictions to maintain content integrity from preview to launch.
After administration, conduct comprehensive data analysis and validation. Use the results to refine future test forms and ensure continuous improvement in quality, reliability, and fairness.
Assemble and Validate
Design, review, and validate exams through rule-based assembly, simulation, and emulation to ensure quality, consistency, and readiness.
Exam creation
Assemble exams with rule-based engines that enforce blueprint compliance, balance item difficulty, and support randomization or fixed-form delivery.
Pool Review
Audit your item pool for coverage, depth, and performance. Identify gaps, flag overexposed content, and maintain readiness for future exam forms.
Simulation
Preview the candidate experience and exam behavior in real-time. Validate logic, sequencing, and scoring rules before launch.
Bulk Simulation
Test multiple forms under simulated conditions to ensure reliability and consistency at scale. Identify performance or content issues early across variants.
Emulate
Run full walkthroughs in a secure emulation environment. Verify usability, rule enforcement, and interface functionality in near-live conditions.
Prepare for Delivery
Prepare for Delivery
Practice Test Development
Build non-scored practice exams that mirror the live test environment. Give candidates an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the format and tools, increasing confidence and readiness.
Test Publication
Securely publish exams with version control, scheduled releases, and access restrictions. Maintain content integrity from preview to live launch.
Structure the Test-Taker Journey
Pre Test Survey
Collect candidate background data before the exam. Capture insights into preparation habits, learning paths, and baseline expectations.
Introduction
Present clear, concise instructions and contextual information. Help candidates understand the test structure and reduce uncertainty.
Demographics
Gather non-identifiable demographic data to support compliance, equity studies, and psychometric analysis.
Rules
Establish expectations upfront. Outline behavioral, ethical, and procedural requirements to ensure a fair testing environment.
Test Rules
Configure timing, attempt limits, and scoring logic. Enforce policy through built-in parameters.
Navigation Rules
Control movement through the exam sections, prevent backtracking, or allow flexible flow based on design.
Widget Rules
Enable or restrict tools like calculators, references, and note pads. Tailor the experience to match content and testing standards.
Collect Feedback and Insights
Collect Feedback and Insights
Post Test Survey
Gain immediate feedback on the candidate experience. Assess usability, fairness, and technical performance to support ongoing improvements.
Reports
Access real-time performance analytics, item statistics, and candidate data. Visualize outcomes and export insights to support psychometric review and decision-making.
Secure the Assessment
Secure the Assessment
Honey pot
Embed hidden validation items that detect unusual behavior without impacting scores. These questions help flag test-taker misconduct discreetly.
Data Forensics
Protect exam integrity with advanced data monitoring. Together, these tools prevent item leakage and enforce content security throughout the exam lifecycle.
- Crawler continuously scans public platforms for exposed or shared content.
- Scrapper detects copied material across forums and websites.
