- Please adhere to state rules.
- Avoid too many multiple choice questions that can be easily looked up online (free response or any form of short answer questions are preferable).

- This does not mean that tests must have over 100 questions
- If you plan to use images from the internet, place a color filter over the images to prevent image searching.
