Questions require students to interpret, summarize or explain safety procedures. These exact questions will not be used on the secured test, but questions in similar formats will be used.
These assessment items may be used as prototypes by teachers and students to generate similar items to comprise formative assessments for you classroom.

Results of formative assessment should be used to diagnose levels of mastery, determine if re-teaching is needed, and guide further instruction.
