EXAMPLE:      During  the  system  verification  test,  what  supplies  voltages  for TVC   position   sensor   tracking? (a)  Minus  20  VDC  precision  power  supply. (b)  Self-test  DC  reference  power  supply. (c)  TVC  position  sensor  AC/DC  converter. (d)  Missile  command  module. Except Format.  Use  the  except  format  when  three  or  more  equally  correct  alternatives  answer the   question.   This   format   requires   students   to   recognize   which   alternatives   are   correct   and   to select  the  one  that  is  incorrect.  Always  capitalize  or  underline  the  word  “EXCEPT”  in  the  stem. Use   the   “EXCEPT”   format   sparingly. EXAMPLE:          A  specific  torquing  pattern  and  associated  torque  values  can  be found   in   the   SINS   technical   manual   for   all   of   the   following assemblies  or  components  EXCEPT (a)  An  azimuth  synchro  assembly  mounted  to  the  stem. (b)  A  velocity  meter  mounted  to  the  platform. (c)  A  replacement  gyroscope  mounted  to  the  stable  platform. (d)  A  platform  stem  mounted  to  the  bedplate. There  are  several  common  errors  that  you  need  to  avoid  when  developing  multiple-choice  test items.   Listed   below   are   four   examples   of   common   errors: Do   NOT   use   similar   wording   in   both   the   stem   and   ONLY   the   correct   alternative.   It suggests   the   correct   answer. Example  of  an  inappropriate  test  item:  (error  underlined): What  is  the  purpose  of  the  MARDAN  maintenance  test  set? (a)  Monitors  the  C.P.  operations. (b)   Furnishes   power   to   MARDAN. (c)   Functions   as   a   running   time   meter. (d)  Provides static  testing  of M A R D A N . Do  NOT  state  the  correct  alternative  in  greater  detail  than  the  other  alternatives.  This practice  often  cues  the  correct  answer. 77
