Quick checks
Purpose: Name the knowledge or action this item should elicit. Use another response format or add an explanation when selecting an option cannot reveal the performance you need.
Stem: State the problem, source context, conditions and units clearly enough to understand the task before reading options.
Key: Write the answer rationale with a recoverable source passage or calculation. Keep unresolved support visible.
Distractors: Explain why every other option is wrong for this stem. Prefer plausible error paths over unrelated filler.
Uniqueness: Look for two defensible keys, overlapping ranges, equivalent units or alternatives that imply each other.
Clues: Check grammar, repeated wording and conspicuous differences in option length. Remove avoidable negative phrasing.
Delivery: Inspect the learner copy, response type, marked key and scoring conditions after moving the item into a platform.
Decision: Record revise, hold or ready for the instructor’s release decision, with the version actually checked.

Only record an independent review after it actually occurs. Preserve the original draft and keep unresolved answers out of a scored release. Inspect the student copy after any import or correction.
