    Examination questions are based on a job analysis that identifies the critical tasks, knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required for a position. Subject matter experts (SMEs) review the job analysis and help compose questions that test the KSAs. An exam analyst standardizes the question format and reviews questions for appropriateness, ensuring they can distinguish between qualified and unqualified candidates. Questions tie to one or more KSAs, have measurable responses, and may have multiple parts that test both knowledge and real-world application. Situational questions present hypothetical job scenarios to assess how candidates would respond.
