Native speaker told me they were shocked to not find this word in Pleco.

Funnily enough it is in CedPane (http://ssb22.user.srcf.net/cedpane/).

Someone should help Silas S. Brown out with his online query, because what on earth is that...

Anywho here's a link to the right page:

examination syllabus、exam outline
-------------------------------------

Editor: There doesn't seem to be a standard term for this in English. Where I used to teach, they called it an "exam format".

There are only 9 Google results for "examination structure guide".

"examination syllabus" does seem to be used in some places, but it's a term that could be confusing for anyone who isn't familiar with it, because a "syllabus" is typically a summary of the main points of a *course of study*, not of an *exam*.

Anyway, none of these English terms seems to be defined in a dictionary or on the Web, so I'm choosing one of them ("exam outline") and providing my own definition of it.
Diff:
# 考綱 考纲 [kao3 gang1] /examination syllabus/exam outline/
+ 考綱 考纲 [kao3 gang1] /exam outline (outline of the content of an exam, published prior to the exam as a guide for examinees) (abbr. for 考試大綱|考试大纲[kao3 shi4 da4 gang1])/
