Errors in the new IC exam/question bank

We have noted and had reports of a some typos or transcription errors in
the Industry Canada exam questions.

It is not that unusual that a few such errors can creep into the long
document (more than 6000 questions and 24000 answers considering the
English and French versions of the two exam banks). Fortunately the new
system IC has developed makes it easy and quick to correct such errors.

RAC will assist in conveying the information. Anyone wishing to report
errors are invited to send these reports by email to RAC at

>
> Background:
> In December of 2012 Industry Canada put out a Request For Proposals (RFP)
> to update the amateur radio question bank used for examinations to qualify
> radio amateurs. RAC provided a proposal and subsequently entered into a
> contract with Industry Canada in January 2013 to update the amateur radio
> question bank. RAQI was engaged by RAC to collaborate on the French
> language component of the contract.
>
> The review team examined more than 3000 questions and 12000 answers used
> for the Basic and Advanced examinations in English and French and aimed for
> perfection in every one. Technical and linguistic accuracy were equally
> important in the review. Changes included correcting factual errors,
> replacing obsolete language and examples, making questions and answers
> clearer and ensuring that questions addressed current amateur radio
> practices and regulations. The team accomplished most changes through the
> editing of existing questions but also recommended that obsolete questions
> be deleted and new questions added. Comments from radio amateurs in
> response to the RAC bulletins on the question bank review aided the team in
> identifying where changes were needed.
>
> On March 13, 2013, Radio Amateurs of Canada complete its work and
> delivered a comprehensive and detailed set of recommendations to Industry
> Canada.
>
> Transition:
> Now that Industry Canada has implemented the updated question banks, RAC
> will prepare information identifying where changes have been made to assist
> instructors in modifying their course materials and examiners in preparing
> for the change. As has been mentioned in previous bulletins, the curriculum
> has not been changed. The topics addressed in the exams and consequently in
> courses and educational material remain the same. The changed questions are
> clearer, more accurate, more understandable and more relevant to modern
> amateur radio.
>
> Francophones should immediately see a significant improvement in the
> French language questions.
>
> "RAC put a great deal of effort and expertise in working with IC to update
> the question banks and looks forward to competing for contracts on
> significant projects related to amateur radio if the opportunity presents
> itself in the future." stated Glenn MacDonell, VE3XRA, Vice-President and
> Regulatory Affairs Officer.
