Analysis:
a. Only 48% of the examinees got the answers correctly. Hence, the item is Average or
Moderately difficult.
b. More students from the upper group got the answer correctly. Hence, it has a positive
discrimination.
c. Retain the option B, because most of the students who did not performed well in the
overall examination, selected it. Those options attract most students from the lower
group.
d. The discrimination index is poor item, it should be eliminated or need to be revised

Conclusion:
Revised the test item, but change option C, make it more realistic to make it effective for
the upper and lower groups. At least 5% of the examinees chose the incorrect option.

b. Students from the upper and the lower group who answer the test correctly are equal.
hence the test item cannot distinguish the students who performed in the overall test
and the students whose performance are very poor.
c. The discrimination index is poor item, should be eliminated or need to be revised.

Conclusion:
Revised the item by modifying option A.

c. More students from the lower group got the item correctly, therefore a negative
discrimination resulted. The discrimination index is -13%.
d. No need to analyze the distracters because the test item is very difficult and discriminates
negatively.

Conclusion:

Reject the item because it is very difficult and has a negative discrimination negatively.
