The document discusses blueprints, which are matrices that show the number and type of test questions for each topic based on learning objectives and the relative weight of each topic. A blueprint also identifies the percentage weightings for cognitive dimensions and levels of competence tested in different domains. The rest of the document provides an example blueprint for a test on light and heat propagation. It shows the question breakdown by topic, objective, and question type, allocating different point values and percentages. Finally, it discusses the importance of blueprints in providing a conceptual map of the exam format and content to ensure key topics are assessed.

2. Blueprint is the matrix or chart reporting the
number and type of test questions represented
across the topics in content area, consistent with
learning objective and relative weight on test given
to each topic.
A blueprint also identifies the % weighting of
cognitive dimensions as the level of competence
tested in each domain.

7. Importance of Blue Print
1. A Blueprint provides a conceptual map of examination format, the
objectives considered, variety of questions asked and the content
area represented in assessment.
2. Thus blue print gives an idea whether the question paper is meant
for homogenous or heterogeneous population.
3. The blueprint is a globally accepted tool used to construct
examination questions for ready reference of stakeholders engaged
in assessment process.
4. Blueprint also provides a readily available opportunity to vetting
members to ensure that the essential topics are not overlooked.
