To make sure someone can do something.  I mean really do it not just pass a paper and pencil test on the subject but actually perform it.  Like you want to make sure a doctor can actually DO that surgery, not just answer questions correctly on a test about how to do the surgery.  When it is something that must be performed you need proficiency testing.

Whatever you are working on, it is probably part of a development methodology. If the methodology is sound, there should be a function requirement documentation or product requirement specification. Different methodologies adopt different names but the idea is the same; that the required specifications/features are documented.\n\nTo check that the test cases are fully covered, one would have to look at every single requirement that is spelled out in the requirement document and see that it is represented in the test plan/test case documentation. If there are new features introduced into the product during development, these features need to be updated into the requirement documentation.

I really don't understand the question, if question it is.\n\nI am a certified trainer of a particular computer product. Th eskills needed are not nly trainer skills but a complete up to date understanding of the product and its use.\n\nI get that by working with it, playing with it and working at the development laboratory on new releases.

One thing that might interest you, lots of people race through the tests thinking they are based on how fast you complete them. Most aptitude tests are designed to find out your problem solving abilities.  I once sat in a room of 300 people to take one. I was the last one in the room and never finished the test. I figured I blew it. 2 weeks later I was hired and out of curiosity I asked them why. They said, "you were the only one in the room who was more concerned with finding the proper answers rather than how many questions you could complete". I guess what I am saying is slow down and comprehend the questions. Employers want people who can do the job right the first time.

These are simple fast tests to detect the presence of carbohydrates in a given sample. These can be modified a little and by using a spec it would be possible to quantify the sugars in a given sample.\nQuestion if more precise would help in giving a specific answer

It probably means how the test is given.\nMight be a paper and pencil test.\nMight be on a computer, where you click the answer with the mouse.\nIt might be an oral test, where a person in the room with you asks questions.\nIt could be a performance test where there is a problem you have to solve using real items.\nI mean i guess theoretically it could be on microfiche or\nvideotape or almost anything.

Get a test and prove it.

Let's see...it's desireable because it's likely to be a lot different than your starting material and your derivatizing agent - this gives you confidence that you actually made a derivative and are not just measuring the m.p. of either your unreacted agent or your starting material.  We used this a lot when I took a class called the Analysis of Organic Unkowns.  No instruments were allowed.

The purpose of the TOEFL® test is to evaluate the English proficiency of people whose native language is not English. The scores are required for purposes of admission by more than 2,400 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.\n\n\nSo I would assume not.

the tests are reliable.  As for validity, that is another matter open for interpretation.  More info is needed to determine the "purpose" of the testing, who is doing it, who is being tested and what are the consequences.

This varies with the test.  Some are not very complicated, some require millions of dollars in specialized materials and manufacturing equipment.\nYou must know what you are trying to diagnose first.  You must be aware of what you are testing.  It helps to know what methods and techniques are currently acceptable.

I am not sure what your proficiency is. But you could try reading to increase your vocabulary. Even better if you can get a translation with it. Wikipedia runs hundreds of articles in numerous languages. Give them a try.

According to Wikipedia, "High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a form of column chromatography used frequently in biochemistry and analytical chemistry. It is sometimes referred to as high pressure liquid chromatography, although this terminology is considered out-of-date and disapproved by many. HPLC is used to separate components of a mixture by using a variety of chemical interactions between the substance being analyzed (analyte) and the chromatography column."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_performance_liquid_chromatography

Wouldn't you want to establish that the integration was operational prior to measuring the performance? \n\nLet's not put the cart before the horse here.

Study different languages. You have to prove fluency. There will be a proficiency test. Study Study Study.

pH samples need to be analyzed immeditely for regulatory purposes.  There is no holding time.  They must be test ASAP.
