The Discrimination and Difficulty Index findings of the provided data and results from the table
above are used to determine whether to retain, reject, or change the item made question/s. When the
result in Discrimination Index interpretation is low and difficulty index is average then the question-item
will remain. If the Discrimination Index states a poor item but the Difficulty Index states an average item,
then it means that Discrimination Index should be revised. The item made question is considered
rejected if the result in both indexes got a poor items and extremely difficult. As we can see in the table
below, there are 18 item-questions that will be retained, 7 item-questions that need revision and there
are no items that need to be rejected.
