THE RADON REPORTER | 27 719-444-0646 ORDERS@RADONPDS.COM RADONPDS.COM HOW TO INSTALL VIDEO LOW VOLTAGE KTA SYSTEM | Industry-leading | Class II low voltage SOIL GAS COLLECTOR MAT | Meets all NRPP codes 100' CORD “We have installed miles of the product and have had fantastic results!” - Fred Ellrott | NRPP Certified Radon Mitigation Specialist Family-owned | Independent Distributor Remote Exam Proctoring PILOT QUESTIONS ARE BEING ADDED TO NRPP EXAMS NRPP will be adding pilot questions to its exams starting on October 1, 2024. Ten (10) pilot questions will be added to the Radon Measurement Field Technician (RMFT) and Radon Mitigation Installer (RMI) exams, increasing the total number of questions on each of those exams from 85 to 95. Fifteen (15) pilot questions will be added to the Radon Measurement Professional (RMP) and Radon Mitigation Specialist (RMS) exams, increasing the number of questions on those exams from 150 to 165. Pilot questions are unscored questions, meaning the responses do not count for or against the testtakers’ exam scores. Adding pilot questions to the exams will allow NRPP to “try out” newly written questions to determine if they are fair and can be used in the future as scored questions. The goal is to expand the “bank” of solid, well-written questions that NRPP’s test developers can draw from to create new exams. NRPP collects diagnostic information for each question and calculates statistics such as difficulty and discrimination. If a question doesn’t perform well – for example, if nobody gets it correct – it is either revised and pilot tested again or removed from the bank so it won’t be on an exam in the future. By knowing how questions perform before using them as scored questions, NRPP will enhance the quality of exams and help to ensure that the exams are fair and reliable indicators of the testtakers’ knowledge. The addition of 15 questions to the RMP and RMS exams is not expected to greatly lengthen testing time; currently, test-takers rarely use the full three hours and, on average, complete the RMP and RMS exams in 90 minutes or less.
