We work closely with the ACSM national office and the Examinations Subcommittee to constantly ensure the quality of the certification examinations. The Kinesmetrics Laboratory provides the following services to ACSM:

• Test Construction: Working with the Examinations and Credentialing Subcommittees, we are in charge of constructing each test form to ensure its KSAs and other psychometrics (e.g., cut-off scores and scaling) are appropriately set up.
• Data Analysis: We analyze the data and monitor the psychometric quality of the items and exams on a regular basis. These analyses are done to guarantee the exams meet the highest quality in which health professionals demand.
• Item Banking: We are also developing and updating an item bank for each exam.
