Under PD 1534, which function pertains to syllabi and examination content?

• A. Revoke certification
• B. Prepare, adopt and issue syllabi or tables of specifications for examinations in consultation with the academe
• C. Monitor private universities
• D. Administer licensure exams

Answer: (B)

When shaping licensure exams, the key idea is to define what topics will be tested and how much each topic will count toward the total score. PD 1534 assigns the responsibility to prepare, adopt, and issue syllabi or tables of specifications for examinations, in consultation with the academe. This creates a formal blueprint that aligns exam content with professional standards and current educational input, ensuring the tests accurately reflect essential knowledge and skills. The other options describe actions outside that content-design role: revoking certification is about disciplinary actions, monitoring private universities is broader institutional oversight, and administering licensure exams deals with conducting the tests rather than defining what they cover.
