 Range of Difficulty (Difficulty Index)
To determine the difficulty level of test items, a measure called
the Difficulty Index is used. This measure asks teachers to calculate the
proportion of students who answered the test item accurately
Time Limit (Edulastic, 2019)
• 30 seconds per true-false item
• 60 seconds per multiple-choice item
• 120 seconds per short answer item
• 10-15 minutes per essay question
• 5 to 10 minutes to review the work
Arrangement of Items
 Arranging Items in Test Guidelines
 For instructional purposes, it is usually desirable to
group together items that measure the same outcomes
 Where possible, all items of the same type should be
grouped together
 Items should be arranged in terms of increasing
difficulty.
 Directions should be simple and concise
