    Blueprint - Each objective is weighted based on its importance to the overall job role.

    Item development - SMEs develop exam items based on the exam objectives and blueprint.

    Technical review - Each exam item is reviewed to ensure technical accuracy. Reviewers can include Google employees or employees of Partner organizations.

    Beta testing - Exam items are delivered to candidates under conditions similar to the final exam when it's published. This allows the performance of each item to be evaluated.

    Item selection and cut score setting - Based on statistics gathered during the beta testing, items can be kept for the live exam or rejected. Once the final items are determined, SMEs gather to set the passing score for the exam.

    Live - An independent test delivery provider delivers the exam worldwide, anywhere with an Internet connection and a distraction-free environment.
