Essential to offering a reliable and valid exam is the task of question vetting. Question vetting involves experts examining and/or editing questions to make it free of any mistakes.¹
grammar and global language review
technical accuracy review
alignment to the exam objective and level of difficulty
referenced by current documentation
If you have never experienced a question-vetting session, I think, the best way is to recreate a scene and step into the roles that would be involved in this aspect of exam development. I created a five-page screenplay to give you this learning experience.
The film industry counts one page of screenplay as one minute on screen which makes this activity 5 minutes long. Download the free PDF, take a break with your team and do a table read of The Vetting Syndrome.
Homework:
What is the significance of the number of subject matter experts in this scene?
Why was "best bang for the buck" edited out of the question?
I hope you enjoyed this instructional activity and welcome to The Certification Channel!
