Abstract
The work of Khafagy and colleagues, reported in this issue, is a reminder of the need to undertake quality assurance activities for high stakes examinations, including the individual items that make up the examination. Quality assurance provides evidence to the candidates taking the examination, and to those who rely on its results, of its validity and reliability. It is also important for another, often forgotten, group of stakeholders: the item writers.
