,Introduction
The Ministry of Education of Ethiopia has announced the implementation of exit exam for all
undergraduate program students (public and private), beginning with the 2022/2023 academic year, in
order to improve the quality of graduates produced by higher learning institutions. The exit exam
aimed at checking whether students have acquired the required knowledge, skills and attitudes or not.
To implement this, it requires determining competency areas for a specific program, which is already
completed. Based on the competency areas prepared, it needs to plan the construction of tests.

Planning of a test is a first and vital step in the construction of an achievement test. An achievement
test demands very systematic and careful planning, as a fact that good planning is a symbol of
success. Tests are the tools that provide scores that measure level of student learning and study
program learning outcomes. In order to achieve the valid and reliable measurement of student
learning and program learning outcomes, the development of valid and reliable test is the mandatory.
Test should be able to measure student performance in all dimensions of knowledge, skill and
attitude. The carefully planned test construction contributes to improve the overall quality of the test
in terms of test content validity, difficulty level, discrimination power and test reliability. Test
preparation is not an easy task; it requires a careful planning and guideline to make the task simple.
Test construction needs the preparation of test blue print. Test blueprint is defined as a complete plan
that explains how to develop a test. The term refers to a map or specification of assessment to ensure
that all aspects of the curriculum and educational domains are covered by the assessment programs
over a specified period of time. It helps curriculum developers/test constructors to match various
competencies with the course content and the appropriate modality of assessment.

Generally, test blueprint will help to ensure tests: 1) Appropriately assess the achievement of
instructional objectives of the course; 2) Appropriately reflect key course goals, objectives and the
material learned or covered during the instruction period; and 3) Include the appropriate item formats
along with the knowledge and skills being assessed.
Keeping this in mind, the team has prepared this test blueprint document in order to help the test
developers or content specialists in their process of valid and reliable test construction. The major
points considered in the process of preparing this test blue print guideline were the core
competencies that have been already identified for the themes of courses, the course contents, course
credit hours, and the learning outcomes with their corresponding levels of achievement by learning
domains. In line with these, the number of test items that should adequately assess the performance
of students in all the content topics will be determined through discussion with the content specialists
who construct the blueprint and test for their corresponding study program.

Therefore, the main purpose of this manual is to give direction on how to develop exit exam for
content specialists so that they can develop a representative and balanced exam for their respective
program.


Objective of Test Blueprint
Test blueprint preparation is generally opted to assist the preparation of a test that is representative,
broadly sampled, and consisting of complete knowledge domain expected of Anesthesia students up
on completion of their study program. The specific objectives of test blueprint are to:
 Facilitate the construction of a representative and balanced test items for the selected courses
in accordance with the competencies identified.
 Guide test developers or writers to write or set appropriate test items.
