WHY CALL IN THE EXAM DEVELOPMENT CAVALRY?

Exam development experts spend their days building high-quality exams for high-stakes programs. But our work goes far beyond “just” writing questions.

The Foundation Must Be Solid

The hallmark of any good testing program is the quality of its exams, so don’t call in an amateur to do this important work. Experienced item and test development professionals will ensure that the job is done right and with the most innovative tools available. Only the experts can ensure the validity, accuracy, and defensibility of your exams are supported by strong test design and super-secure items.

You Can Only Earn Experience

Exam Development is a science, and you need the right people to do the job. An experienced exam developer knows that there are necessary processes and procedures and hard-learned rules to the development process that produce reliably great tests. Skip these steps, and you may not wind up with a valid, reliable exam that measures what you want it to measure. Who wants that?

Your Dentist Doesn’t Do Your Taxes

The most important people in any exam development process are the subject matter experts (SMEs). Typically not testing professionals, their time is valuable, and it shouldn’t be spent navigating exam design and content production. A great test development team will get the absolute best out of those content experts. Every science has an element of art, and this is the “art” of exam development.

K.I.S.S.

Keep integrating security solutions, people! Most security solutions focus on identifying test fraud. Secure exam design actually helps to prevent it! Work with professional test developers who are highly focused on security to help you detect test fraud, prevent and deter cheating and theft, increase the life span of your tests, and rapidly reproduce compromised content in the event of a breach.

Don’t just take our word for it:

“We chose Caveon because not only do they have a fantastic software platform for content creation and delivery, they also have an in-house psychometrics team that assisted with content development.

“Once we signed up, we were immediately matched with their psychometric and training teams who were able to assist us in utilizing Scorpion in a very unique way. Their teams never wavered in face of the challenges we brought to them, and they remained very hands-on throughout implementation.

“We’ve found a great tool and team with Caveon, and we’re really excited about the quality. The innovative approach Caveon takes to item creation, item types and maintaining content and delivery security is unmatched in their industry.”—Richard Merrill
