4. In his conduct of item analysis, Teacher A found out that a significantly greater number of the upper group of the class got the test item #5 correctly. This means that the test item:

A. Has a positive discriminating power
B. Has a negative discriminating power
C. Has a high reliability
D. Has a low validity

Item analysis is a method of increasing the reliability of a test. However, option C - Has a high reliability - is not the correct answer.

If you try to notice, although the teacher used item analysis, the question refers to a specific item in the test - item #5. Remember that each item in a test under item analysis is compared to other items' index of discrimination and index of difficulty.

The answer for this item is option A - Has a positive discriminating power. First of all, option A and B are directly opposite choices. Second of all, comparing the upper and the lower group is a form of discrimination. Finally, the upper group is expected to perform better than the lower group.

5. Which is implied by a positively-skewed score distribution?

A. The mean, the median and the mode are equal.
B. Most of the scores are high.
C. The mode is high.
D. Most of the scores are low.

The answer for this item is option D - Most of the scores are low. Notice that option B and D are direct opposites.

A positively-skewed distribution shows that most scores are low; a negatively-skewed distribution shows that most scores are high. Here is a photo that shows a positively skewed distribution:

TEST-TAKING SKILL:

[!] Choose from two opposing options.

6. A negative discrimination index means that _.

A. Less from the lower group for the test item correctly.

B. More from the lower group answered the test item correctly.

C. The test item could not discriminate between the lower and the upper group.

D. More from the upper group answered the test item correctly.

Although options A and B are direct opposites, none of them is the correct answer. Also, option D is the same as option A. This is the reason why you have to eliminate A, B and D.

Option C is the correct answer.

TEST-TAKING SKILLS:

[!] Eliminate options taking about the same thing.

[!] Look for key words.
