How we make practice questions

Start with the exam outline

We use the testing program's published outline to choose topics and plan coverage. Published weights help us decide how much practice to devote to each area.

Write original questions and cite the answer

We write classroom scenarios and other original questions. Each answer cites a reference that supports the reasoning, such as an educator standard, a state ethics rule or an evidence-based teaching guide. See our sources.

Check the answer independently

Automated checks flag citation and question-quality issues. A separate review session answers each question without seeing the key and checks whether the cited reference supports a single best answer. Questions with unresolved issues stay in draft.
