The results of the Role Delineation study included a set of specifications for the test. Committees of highly qualified and certified ocularists then wrote and repeatedly reviewed the test questions. Psychometric procedures were applied in constructing the test to ensure that it is thoroughly representative of the domains against which the test is validated. The passing point was determined using the Angoff Modified Technique, a widely accepted criterion-referenced strategy for determining passing points. Thus, the expert judgment of professionals determined the content of the test and psychometric expertise ensured that the test questions measure what they are intended to assess.
Security is of the utmost importance throughout the test development and administration process.
Examination materials are locked in a secure place before and following the test administration. During the administration of the tests, monitors supervise the testing conditions and examinees' behavior and note any irregularities. The performance of the examinees may also be analyzed statistically for the purpose of detecting and verifying fraud. Individuals who remove or attempt to remove examination material from the test site will be prosecuted. Examinations will not be processed for examinees who violate security.
