Abstract :

The present study is a cross-sectional study. The aim of present study was to statistically evaluate the quality of questions asked in an MCQ exam of I MBBS students of Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad. By measuring Difficulty Index (p) and Discrimination Index (DI) an examiner can know if an individual question was too difficult or too easy and whether it discriminated better performing students from less performing students. Thus this analysis of questions can be useful for development of better questions in the future. MCQ items having optimum Difficulty Index and Excellent Discrimination should be regarded as best framedquestions.
