Difficulty, Discrimination index and Discriminatory Power

The EXAMINATOR automatically calculates the distractor difficulty by measuring the relative frequency of the selections in the exam. In case of only one answer option, the distractor difficulty corresponds to the item difficulty.

The Discriminatory Power to the Pearson correlation of an answer to the sum of the points of all other items.

The discrimination index serves as an alternative indicator of discriminatory power. It measures the difference between the relative frequency of the selections and the upper and lower terzil of the total points of all test items.
