The exact 7 / 7 / 7 / 7 balance reduces answer-position patterning. It does not replace content quality; the Answer Key also preserves rationale and confusion-pair information.
Error-repair rule
A correct guess is not mastery. Mark an item for review if you cannot explain:
- the deciding clue;
- why the correct option fits more directly;
- why each distractor is weaker.
Later performance-based Artifact 08 may use error tags such as knowledge gap, vocabulary confusion, confusion pair, role/responsibility, sequence/process, missed qualifier, misread stem, poor elimination, overthinking, changed answer, time pressure or source-lookup failure.
