Topics include: - Methods for creating content outlines. - Structuring of content outlines. - Considerations due to exam method (e.g., multiple choice, performance-based, multiple exam). - Other psychometric factors that influence content outlines (e.g., exam length, item bank, candidate feedback). - Non-psychometric factors that influence content outlines (e.g., law/regulation, interested parties, translation concerns).
