Item Discrimination Table

The document displays an item discrimination table that measures how well test questions discriminate between high-scoring and low-scoring students. It shows the responses of high and low scorers to 20 test items and calculates the item discrimination value for each item. Item discrimination values above 0.5 are considered very good, while values below 0.2 mean the item should be revised or discarded since it does not clearly separate stronger and weaker students.
