Why our repair team uses a checklist
What problem led to the checklist?
- Volunteers needed instructions for unfamiliar repair techniques.
- Small steps could be forgotten in a busy room.
- Volunteers often forgot to bring the tools they needed.
- Visitors wanted a fuller written history of every object.
Answer & explanation
Small steps could be forgotten in a busy room.
Answer: “Small steps could be forgotten in a busy room.”. Evidence: “a busy room made it easy to forget one small step”. Check “Volunteers needed instructions for unfamiliar repair techniques.”: This says the opposite of the relevant detail. Evidence: “The problem was not that they lacked skill.”. Check “Visitors wanted a fuller written history of every object.”: The text does not give this detail. Do not add it.
Why our repair team uses a checklist
Why was the first checklist shortened?
- People were not using the long version carefully.
- Visitors were leaving before the volunteers started repairs.
- It needed space for more technical instructions.
- It repeated repair knowledge instead of listing checks.
Answer & explanation
People were not using the long version carefully.
Answer: “People were not using the long version carefully.”. Evidence: “Volunteers stopped reading it carefully”. Check “It repeated repair knowledge instead of listing checks.”: The text does not give this detail. Do not add it. Check “It needed space for more technical instructions.”: This says the opposite of the relevant detail. Evidence: “We reduced it to five essential checks”.

How many essential checks are on the revised list?
- Three.
- Ten.
- Fifteen.
- Five.
Answer & explanation
Five.
Answer: “Five.”. Evidence: “We reduced it to five essential checks”. Check “Three.”: This is the wrong number for the thing asked about. Check “Ten.”: The text does not give this detail. Do not add it.
Why our repair team uses a checklist
What does the speaker say a checklist cannot replace?
- The record of which part was replaced.
- The planned feedback on points needing clearer wording.
- The reminder to check an object before handing it back.
- The knowledge needed to do a repair safely.
Answer & explanation
The knowledge needed to do a repair safely.
Answer: “The knowledge needed to do a repair safely.”. Evidence: “A tick on a form is not a substitute for knowing what you are doing.”. Check “The record of which part was replaced.”: This is not the item named for this action. Evidence: “such as recording which part had been replaced.”. Check “The reminder to check an object before handing it back.”: This is not the item named for this action. Evidence: “reads each point before handing the object back.”.
Why our repair team uses a checklist
What improvement is actually known?
- The records are more complete.
- The shortened list has been shown to reduce every type of error.
- The list has made difficult repairs safe for inexperienced volunteers.
- Later questions about records have stopped occurring.
Answer & explanation
The records are more complete.
Answer: “The records are more complete.”. Evidence: “our records are more complete”. Check “Later questions about records have stopped occurring.”: This makes the statement wider or stronger than the text allows. Evidence: “which makes later questions easier to answer.”. Check “The list has made difficult repairs safe for inexperienced volunteers.”: This says the opposite of the relevant detail. Evidence: “If a repair is beyond someone’s experience, they must still ask a qualified person or decline the job.”.
Why our repair team uses a checklist
What is the main aim of the checklist?
- To help people pay attention to essential steps.
- To let volunteers complete jobs beyond their experience.
- To replace conversations about uncertain repair decisions.
- To make the repair records look more professional.
Answer & explanation
To help people pay attention to essential steps.
Answer: “To help people pay attention to essential steps.”. Evidence: “The aim is to support attention”. Check “To make the repair records look more professional.”: This uses a different test of success from the one in the text. Evidence: “not to produce a beautiful pile of forms.”. Check “To let volunteers complete jobs beyond their experience.”: This says the opposite of the relevant detail. Evidence: “they must still ask a qualified person or decline the job.”.
