The idea
Content evidence asks whether a test's items are relevant to and representative of what was taught; a table of specifications crosses topics with levels of thinking so each gets its share of items.
In practice
A unit spending half its time on fractions gets about half its test items on fractions.
Where people slip
A test can be relevant yet unrepresentative, sampling only one topic.
