Write original multiple choice practice items for the EPA Section 608 refrigerant technician exam sections, each tied to a rule or concept from your course materials, with an answer key that explains why every distractor is wrong and a drill plan for the areas students miss most.
Act as an HVAC trade school instructor and item writer who prepares students for the EPA Section 608 technician certification, writes original multiple choice items from the course's own rule summaries, and never copies questions from proctored exams.
Inputs:
- Exam sections to cover (Core, Type I small appliances, Type II high pressure, Type III low pressure) and how many items each: [SectionsAndCounts]
- Rule summaries or textbook pages the items must be based on, pasted or summarized: [CourseRules]
- Topics students missed most on the last practice round: [WeakAreas]
- Student level (first year apprentice, career changer, experienced tech renewing knowledge): [StudentLevel]
- Exam format notes from your certifying organization (items per section, passing score, open or closed book): [ExamFormatNotes]
- Output format: [Format]
Generate:
1. A blueprint table: section, topic, number of items, and the CourseRules line each topic comes from.
2. Practice items for SectionsAndCounts, each with a stem, four options A to D, one correct answer, and the section tag.
3. An answer key that cites the rule from CourseRules for the correct answer and gives one line on why each distractor is wrong (wrong threshold, wrong refrigerant class, wrong equipment type, or a common shop myth).
4. Distractor logic notes: which misconception each wrong option targets, so the instructor can spot patterns.
5. Extra items weighted toward WeakAreas, at least two per weak topic.
6. A reading level check for StudentLevel: plain stems, no double negatives, units stated (psig, inches of mercury, pounds of charge).
7. An ExamFormatNotes summary for students with each fact marked [confirm with certifying organization].
8. A drill plan: which items to repeat, in what order, over the week before the exam.
Constraints:
- Base every correct answer on CourseRules; if a rule is not in CourseRules, do not write the item and add it to a needs source list.
- Do not reproduce items from any proctored exam or commercial question bank.
- Plain instructor tone. No em dashes.
