Item Analyses

The purpose of an Item Analysis is for Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to review items that have not met certain statistical criteria. The overall purpose is to use both statistical feedback and SME feedback to improve the quality of the exam. During an Item Analysis, you will review several items not meeting statistical criteria. The facilitator will spend the first few minutes explaining the item statistics as it relates to an actual item (question). The estimated time requirement is approximately 2 hours. Compensation: $100 Amazon gift card and 12 Community Participation CPE credits. SMEs are contacted when an Item Analysis is needed for a certification.

Standard Settings

Participation in the Standard Setting requires you to sit for an un-proctored exam at home, and then participate in virtual meetings to review exam data. Total time is estimated at 8 hours with breaks. Participating in the study will prevent you from sitting for the exam for one year.


There are two types of Standard Settings: an existing GIAC exam Standard Setting and a new GIAC exam Standard Setting.


Each Standard Setting has its own incentives. If you participate in an existing GIAC exam Standard Setting you will receive a FREE certification renewal and 12 Community Participation CPEs.


If you participate in a new GIAC exam Standard Setting you will receive a FREE exam attempt for that certification (no practice exams) and 12 Community Participation CPEs. SMEs are contacted when a Standard Setting is needed for a certification.
