What We Do

The hallmark of any good testing program is the quality of its exams, so don’t call an amateur to do this critical work. Experienced item and test development professionals will ensure that the job is done right and with the most innovative tool available—Scorpion. Our experts can ensure that your exam’s validity, accuracy, and defensibility are supported by solid test design and super-secure items.

Exam Development & Management

Our team of psychometric specialists works with you to build exemplary exams.

We provide end-to-end project management throughout your exam development process.

Our team can integrate optional AI-assisted workflows like blueprinting, item writing, and review into your exam development project—using Scorpion’s powerful AI tool to accelerate timelines without compromising quality or control.

We thoroughly review your tests to ensure your items are consistent with your style guide and follow standards-based practices for a high-quality, secure, and legally-defensible exam.

We’ll help you define your minimally qualified candidate (MQC), including a detailed list of required experience, training, KSAs (knowledge, skills, and abilities), and what will be within and out of scope to test on the exam.

Our test developers will design an exam blueprint that specifies the key content areas, defines measurable exam objectives, and establishes the difficulty level for each item.

We will build balanced exam forms based on the objectives, item difficulty, and data provided during the standard-setting process.

While your SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) review and individually rate each item, our EDM will review the data and facilitate a discussion to set the exam’s cutscore.

We will perform a quality assurance check, submit status reports, and coordinate with your third-party vendors (if necessary) to prepare your exam for publication.

We’ll help you prepare practice and sample test items to allow candidates to view and answer questions that are similar to the ones that will be on the actual exam.
