ENCODING OF TEST QUESTIONS
Using Diskettes, questions are encoded with PRC prepared questions and answers (Multiple Choice) format.
Encoding maybe done by the Board Members themselves or they may bring it to PRC to be encoded by Encoders of the Commission.
![Page 50: ECE Seminar on Examination Awareness](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/545aa9dbaf79594e128b56e1/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
ENTRY OF ENCODED QUESTIONS TO PRC DATA BANK / MACHINE
All encoded questions are entered into the PRC data bank machine. Additional questions are merged with the remaining questions in the Board Member’s data bank.
![Page 51: ECE Seminar on Examination Awareness](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/545aa9dbaf79594e128b56e1/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
EXTRACTION OF QUESTIONS TO BE GIVEN IN THE BOARD EXAM
100 questions are extracted from the Data Bank of the Board Member (BM),(except Math., only 50 questions are given), 2 or 3 days before the start of the Board Exam.
PRC Data Bank Machine selects from the prepared Matrix of the BM , specifying how many Easy, Moderate and Difficult questions will be extracted from among the topics in his/her data bank.

QUESTIONS IN THE DISKETTES ARE SENT TO TEST SITES
Diskette Custodians are sent to PRC Regional Offices where exams will be conducted or at test sites. For Manila exam, the PRBs stay in PRC Main Office.
![Page 54: ECE Seminar on Examination Awareness](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/545aa9dbaf79594e128b56e1/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
QUESTIONS IN THE DISKETTES ARE SENT TO TEST SITES
The night before the scheduled exam date, the diskette custodian, the PRC personnel who will sort, copy and prepare the reproduced test questions for delivery to different test sites, (arranged per classroom), will go to the CONDIDENTIAL ROOM or CONFI ROOM. They are joined by NBI and PNP representative and outside the door of the CONFI ROOM, PRC security guard and a PNP personnel stand on guard.
![Page 55: ECE Seminar on Examination Awareness](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/545aa9dbaf79594e128b56e1/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
QUESTIONS IN THE DISKETTES ARE SENT TO TEST SITES
The CONFI RM, is an air-conditioned room located at the Main and Regional Offices of PRC. It is a room with no windows, with one door, with kitchen, toilet and bedroom for the PRB members. It contains also working tables, papers, office supplies, computer, and printing and duplicating equipment. No means of communicating from inside the room to outside is allowed, but a there is a telephone located near the security guard outside the door.
![Page 56: ECE Seminar on Examination Awareness](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/545aa9dbaf79594e128b56e1/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
QUESTIONS REPRODUCED INSIDE THE CONFI ROOM
At about 8 pm, on the night before the start of exam, the diskettes are given to the NBI representative for inspection, to see if the seal is intact. Then, he signs the slip and hands over the diskette to the computer operator. The operator, together with the diskette custodian, go to the security guard outside the room and calls the office of the PRC Commissioner to get the PASSWORD of the Commissioner. Afterwards, they go back to the CONFI RM and download the test questions to be given the next day.

QUESTIONS REPRODUCED INSIDE THE CONFI ROOM
After the test questions are reproduced, the Board Member in charge of the subject examines the printed questions and makes corrections if necessary. Then the Board Member calls all test sites to make the corrections. Only after the Board Member has called all test sites will the reproduction of all test questions start.
![Page 58: ECE Seminar on Examination Awareness](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/545aa9dbaf79594e128b56e1/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
QUESTIONS REPRODUCED INSIDE THE CONFI ROOM
If the exam is for two days, then the preparation of the questions for the 2nd day will be done the night before the next day. The same procedure will be followed. Nobody is allowed to leave the room, and no things will be allowed to be brought outside the room. Everybody will be allowed to leave the room only after 6 pm the next day.

ACTUAL EXAMINATION CONDUCTED
Test questions are distributed to examinees, together with the Computer-Formatted ID Sheet and Answer Sheets. One Answer sheet per subject. Instructions are given and examination conducted. The ID sheets are collected and the complete set of questions together with the corresponding Answer Sheet is collected.
![Page 60: ECE Seminar on Examination Awareness](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/545aa9dbaf79594e128b56e1/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
CORRECTION OF PAPERS
The collected questions are shredded on the test site, immediately after the examination. The answer sheets are placed in sealed envelopes and packed, to be brought back to PRC main office to be corrected the next working day upon receipt by the Rating Division.
The answer sheets are first fed to the OMI reader. There are several OMI machines, that for about 3or 5 thousand sheets can be read in about 2 or 3 hours.

CORRECTION OF PAPERS
The next day, the BM submits the Computerized Answer Key, which is fed into the Machine, for consolidation with the answers read previously.
Statistics are generated by the Machine, that prints out the Item by Item answers, with the corresponding percentage. The BM takes note of the statistic generated and conducts Item Analysis. Then the passing rate is determined from Mean Scores. This is done in all subjects, and finally, the passing rating per subject is determined.
The correction of papers are watched by a representative from the NBI and is done solely at the Rating Division’s room.

CORRECTION OF PAPERS
Ratings - To pass the licensure examination, a candidate for ECE or ECT must obtain a passing rating of seventy percent (70%) in each of the four general subjects given during the examination.
A candidate who obtains a passing rating in the three subjects, but obtains a rating in one subject below 70%, but not lower than 60%, shall be allowed to take one removal examination on the subject where he/she failed to obtain the passing rating.

RELEASE OF BOARD EXAMINATION RESULT
On the third day, the ID Sheets are read by the OMI reader and merged with the result read from the previous day. Now, the scores and the name of the examinees are printed alphabetically. The machine also generates the list of the top 20 and all passers, and the School performance sheet.
As soon as one of the Commissioners of PRC approves the result, the Official Ratings of all examinees are released. Typically, 2 to 3 days after start of correction, the result is released.
