TOS is an acronym used for what document in exams?

• A. Table of Specifications outlining exam competencies
• B. Table of Students' Options
• C. Test Outline Summary
• D. Timetable of Schedules

Answer: (A)

Table of Specifications is the document that plans exams by linking what should be tested with the actual items on the test. It lays out content areas, assigns how many questions (or what weight) each area should receive, and often specifies the expected cognitive levels. This ensures the exam fairly and accurately covers the syllabus, representing the different topics and the appropriate difficulty. The other terms don’t describe this planning work: a label about student options isn’t about exam content, a general outline doesn’t tie items to competencies, and a timetable is about scheduling rather than what the test measures.
