The AAE is here to support you in the development of your exam concept: definition of learning goals and required competences, selection of exam methods and practical implementation. If desired, exams that have already been developed or implemented can be analyzed in terms of their measurement properties.
The department has many years of experience with numerous assessment formats to test
- knowledge and problem-solving ability (Multiple Choice, short-answer questions, Script Concordance Test or structured oral examination),
- practical skills (structured practical examination, OSCE),
- competences that are deemed necessary to act in the authentic clinical setting (Mini-CEX, DOPS, MSF).

Formal revision
Unintentional solution hints (“cues”), superfluous information and linguistic deficits in exam tasks have a considerable deleterious impact on the test quality of an exam. The AAE proposes appropriate amendments.
Translation
High-quality translations are an important prerequisite to guarantee fair exams: Candidates with different native languages should have the same chances of success.
