Abstract :
A methodology for constructing maintenance proficiency tests is described. Test construction, in the context of developing a maintenance proficiency testing program for nuclear power plants, is discussed. Evaluations of utility needs and industry requirements are requisite precursors to test development. Task analyses form foundational work that is utilized during the test construction process. The advantages and disadvantages of two test formats (written tests and performance tests) are discussed in detail. A five-stage process for test construction is described.<>
