Blueprint

=Test Blueprint= Once you have a clear design statement for the test, you are in a position to create a more details test blueprint. There are three elements:
 * 1) test structure
 * 2) test specifications
 * 3) layout considerations

Test structure

 * 1) Number of parts
 * 2) Relevance of parts to purpose of test.
 * 3) Sequence of parts and range of lower- to higher-level thinking tasks.
 * 4) Relative importance of parts (weighting in terms of overall test score)
 * 5) Number of tasks per part

Test specifications

 * 1) Purpose
 * 2) Links to of construct(s)
 * 3) Setting (in terms of context and authenticity)
 * 4) Timing
 * 5) Characteristic of input and expected output
 * 6) Scoring method

Layout considerations

 * 1) White space
 * 2) Ordering between sections
 * 3) Efficiency (most points in least time first)
 * 4) Facility (easy to difficult)
 * 5) Difficulty ordering (difficult to easy)
 * 6) Reactive ordering (one part affects the next, e.g. reading, then writing a summary.)
 * 7) Ordering within a section
 * 8) Facility or random? (depends on time)
