Pilot assessment of a memory test
Top of Form
Below is a sample item analysis that shows the summary table of statistics for all items (questions) for a pilot assessment of a memory test. The memory test presents a short video depicting a law enforcement scenario and requires candidates to recall relevant details. The test is comprised of 10 multiple choice questions with four options (A-D). For the sample of 10 items, the correct answer is “A”. Review the item difficulty (P), discrimination [R(IT)], and the distractors (options B-D).
Prepare a response to address:
- What is the difficulty level for each item (i.e., easy, medium, hard)? What is the overall difficulty level of the test?
- Which item(s) could you remove altogether from the exam? Why?
- Which distractor(s) would you revise? Why?
- Which items are working well? Why?
- What next steps in test development would you recommend?
