Test Specification Table (Jadual Spesifikasi Ujian) Manual

This template is designed to be completed in a two-tier process:

Tier 1 - during development of the syllabus (by the course developer/ Resource Person (RP) / Content Expert (CE)

Tier 2 - during designing of the final exam paper (by the course lecturer for the current semester)

The aim of the Test Specification Table (TST or JSU) is for the assessment to:

a) be consistent (from year to year, semester to semester and from one lecturer to another) and,

b) address the course outcomes as specified in the syllabus.

The TST (developed by the RP) is supposed to be kept together with the syllabus (either in soft copy or hard copy) and accessible to the lecturers whenever needed.

When the course lecturer is requested to develop a final exam paper, he/she will have to acquire the TST (developed by the RP) and completed his/her part of the TST while complying with what has been specified by the RP. The completed TST MUST BE submitted together with the Final Exam Paper and the marking scheme to the faculty’s Exam Committee.
