Included in this document are Blueprint and Examination Formats for each of the four courses. For each course, this format consists of 50 multiple-choice questions. Each module within a course and the percentage of questions on the test are given. This guide also contains sample examination questions for each course. The second part of this document contains information specific to each module, topic, and performance objective in each core curriculum. An implementation matrix for each core course identifies modules, topics, and performance objective(s). When activity descriptions are recorded at the top of the matrix and the corresponding performance objectives checked off, teachers can determine whether all the performance objectives have been addressed.
