     <li>Currently under review and revision.</li>
     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">All professional graduate courses that include tests/exams as part of summative evaluation must administer exams with no fewer than 50 multiple-choice questions per test.  </li>
</ol>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Course coordinators may determine the weight of test/exam scores within the final course grade; however, exams must comprise no less than 20% and no more than 50% of the total course grade.  </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Faculty must develop and share with students an exam blueprint outlining tested concepts and approximate question distribution at least one week prior to the exam.  </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Faculty must provide a rationale for each exam question within the approved testing platform.  </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Exam questions shall be retired after five years of use or earlier if psychometric analysis does not support continued use. See test question review table below.  </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Questions must align with board-style formatting, including: 
          <ul>
              <li>No true/false questions  </li>
              <li>Avoid negatively worded stems  </li>
              <li>Avoid absolute terms (e.g., “always,” “never”)  </li>
          </ul>
    </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Questions must be free of bias, stereotyping, slang or prejudicial language.  </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Faculty must design and deliver exams in a manner that minimizes opportunities for unauthorized use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as the use of application-based questions, appropriate time limits, randomized item delivery, and approved remote proctoring settings. </li>
</ul>
