Item Writing: Part Science, Part Art
Not sure where to start in writing the questions for your exam? Or do you have blueprints but your volunteer subject matter experts just don’t have the time? Our team of test developers and psychometricians have experience in developing many item types, from university admissions to mechanical reasoning to K-12 math to healthcare certifications.
We’ll do the legwork while you can focus on managing your assessment program!
Item Review and QA
An essential step in test development that is sometimes overlooked is item review and QA. Just like software developers have their code reviewed by another developer, and then functionality tested by a QA professional, items should also have a process such as this. Our item banking platform allows you to set up a customized workflow to manage the process after initial item writing.
But, such work is very time consuming – if your in-house resources are not keeping up with demands, our experienced team can scrutinize your items against best practices and international standards, and then ensure they work correctly on the computer screen.
