suggested point value (PTS), the difficulty level of the question (DIF), the textbook reference
(REF), the objective number (OBJ), and the cognitive level of the question (KEY). The difficulty
level for each question is designated as easy, moderate, or difficult, while the cognitive level of
each question is identified as fact, concept, or application. The reference indicates the major
chapter heading under which the contents of a question may be found. Each test question is also
matched to a chapter objective. These chapter objectives were written by the test bank author so
