KEY:
|Cognitive Level: |Item Discrimination = how well an item distinguishes between high and low scoring students. |
|Remembering |0 is OK if it’s info that everyone absolutely needs to know, i.e. key content. |
|Understanding |.2 to .3 is desirable for most |
|Applying |.4 or higher is OK for just a few questions. If all were .4, most of our students would fail the test. |
|Analyzing |Negative discrimination means a problem, like a poorly written question, mis-speaking in lecture, not fully clarifying a topic, or an error on the answer key. |
