Statistical data for each A*S*K certification exam is reviewed at least once annually to determine how effectively the overall exam and individual items within the exam are performing. On average, 10% - 20% of the weakest items (statistically) are replaced. Additional reviews by subject matter experts focus on item validity relative to the research base (standards and performance indicators).
