Why the Table of Specifications (TOS) and Answer Key Matters

The TOS is more than just a table. It’s the blueprint that ensures every test is fair and proportional. Each item is mapped to a Bloom’s category: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating and Creating with strict percentage allocations. This prevents tests from being too easy or too hard and guarantees all competencies taught in Weeks 1–8 are assessed.

For example, Math 5 devotes more weight to Area Modeling and Area Computation in Weeks 6–7, while Science 5 gives significant focus to “Using Standard Units” and “Verifying Gases and Liquids Have Mass” in Weeks 6–8. The Answer Key ensures quick, accurate checking, helping teachers return feedback faster.
