The Department does not endorse any specific study materials, test preparation publishing organizations, or test preparation courses.  \nGENERAL INFORMATION  \nQualifications Appraisal Panel (QAP) oral examinations are conducted to formally evaluate if a candidate has the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform the job of the testing classification.  \nThe QAP examination consists of a series of structured questions which are related to specific critical knowledge, skills, and abilities for the testing classification. These questions can range from hypothetical scenarios to specific questions about how you intend to deal with situations. The candidates’ answers will be scored by a panel of raters.  \nIn a QAP examination, a panel of subject matter or job experts ask candidates a set of predetermined questions , and listen to and evaluate their responses.
