approved through the TRADOC DCG-IMT. >           >           >           >         3-15.  Testing procedures for AIT and the MOS portion of OSUT >           >            a.  Proponents will develop within course tests (end of block/module) for MOS producing courses according to guidance outlined in  TR 350-70.  Continuously assess the validity of each task evaluated and its relevance; make changes as appropriate. >           >            b.  Commanders will ensure Soldiers are tested IAW the Individual Student Assessment Plan (ISAP) for the course being presented.  Guidelines for development of ISAPs are outlined in IAW TR 350-70. The ISAP informs Soldiers, instructors, and other personnel of the course graduation requirements.  Explain the requirements of the ISAP to each IET Soldier at the beginning of each course and make available to every student for reference. >           >            c.  Course tests must provide a fair and accurate evaluation of the Soldier's ability to perform the tasks presented to established standards. >           >            d.  Hands-on, performance-oriented testing is the norm throughout TRADOC.  Situational based, written open book reference tests (when used), must require the Soldier to not only extract data, but also apply the data to specific situations they are likely to encounter on the job.  Use closed book, knowledge-based written tests only if it is necessary to verify the learner's knowledge as a prerequisite for later performance testing, where the knowledge is applied (as a building block to later tests).  All testing is conducted in an environment that would replicate the Soldier's duty position in the unit, as far as safety and environmental considerations will allow and IAW test administration instructions. >           >            e.  Each test will have at least two versions.  Use all versions concurrently. >           >            f.  Tests are monitored by quality control personnel reporting to the brigade or ATC commander, as determined by the local commander.  Certify unit cadre personnel IAW TR 350-70. >           >            g.  Score tests on a go or no-go basis.  Determine the passing (cutoff) score for making the go or no-go determination during test design and validation, and document it within the course. >           >            h.  Conduct counseling with each Soldier to reinforce strengths on tasks accomplished and to correct weaknesses on tasks missed. >           >            i.  The goal is 100 percent performance to standard on all tasks by each Soldier.  Consider Soldiers unable to achieve this goal for remedial training and retesting, prior to graduation, or reassignment to another company in a follow-on cycle. >
