1. A final test in Science was administered to a Grade lV class of 50. The teacher
wants to improve further the items for next year’s use. Calculate a quality index
that can be used using the given data and indicate the possible revision needed
by some items.

Item Number Index Revision needed to be done

getting item
correct
1 34
2 18
3 10
4 46
5 8
0.68 68% of the class got the correct
answer which means the item is
not that easy and not that difficult
but maybe, it would be better if
there will be a revision on the
distracters so that more students
will get the correct answer.
0.36 Only 36% of the students got the
correct answer which means item
number 2 is a bit difficult. I think it
is essential if revision on some part
of the item will be done, maybe in
the distracters on in the
construction of the stem.
0.20 Only 20% of the class got the
correct answer, therefore, we can
conclude that the item is quite
difficult for the students. Revision
on the stem or on the distracters
should be done
0.92 92% of the Grade 1V students got
the correct answer which means
the item is easy for the students.
Revision should be done on the
distracters so that the item will
really measure what it intends.
0.16 Only 16% of the class the correct
answer which means the item is
really difficult. In this case I would
recommend revision to the item
itself.
2. Below are additional data collected for the same items. Calculate another quality
index and indicate what needs to be improved with the obtained index as a
basis.
Item Upper Number Index Revision needed to be done
Group getting
item
correct
1 25 9 0.64 Based on its index, it is a very
good item and doesn’t
revision.
2 9 9 0 This item is subjected for
rejection or should be revised
well on its stem and
distracters.
3 2 8 -0.24 This item should be revised or
deleted for it has a possibility
of having wrong key, unclear
problem in the stem,
ambiguous distracters and
implausible keyed option.
4 38 8 1.20 It is a very good item and
doesn’t need revision.
5 1 7 -0.24 This item should be revised or
deleted for it has a possibility
of having wrong key, unclear
problem in the stem,
ambiguous distracters and
implausible keyed option.
