What Is The Right Answer

It would seem that many of the answers in this test served as very poor distractors with even the lower scoring students discriminating between correct and incorrect answers. If I were to give this test over again I would first give the exam to other teachers in the same area of study and get direct feedback from them. Next, after hearing their suggestions I would correct the miskeyed items and re-evaluate the distractors that should themselves to be poor. In addition, I would identify and correct the ambiguous items and adjust them to make them clearer. I would implement these changes because they are not only needed but because the exam has only twenty (20) questions, even the smallest errors have a tremendous effect.
