upper group and 27% belongs to the lower group. There are 5 students from the upper
group who got the item correctly and 9 from the lower group got the item right.
a. Compute the difficulty index.
N= 5+9=14
N=40
Df= n/N
Df= 14/40
Df= 0.35 or 35%

b. What is the difficulty level?

-Difficult
c. Compute the discrimination index.
CUG= 5
CLG= 9
D1= 20
D1= CUG-CLG
D
D1= 5-9
20
D1= -4
20
D1= -0.2 or -2%

d. What is the discrimination level?

-0.19 and below/Poor item
e. Is item number 6 a good item?
-No
f. What will you do with item number 6?

Item 10 A B C D*
Upper Group (27%) 4 5 2 9
Lower Group (27%) 6 4 5 5

Based form the given table answer the following:

a. Give the difficulty index.
N= 9+5=14
N= 40
Df= n/N
Df= 14/40
Df= 0.35 or 35%
 b. What is the level of difficulty?
-Difficult level
c. Indicate the discrimination index.
CUG= 9
CLG= 5
D= 9
D1= CUG-CLG
D
D1 = 9-5
20
=4
9
= 0.44 or 44%

d. What is the discrimination level?

-Very good item
e. Which group got more correct answer?
-Upper Group got 9
