Item Analysis. Item Analysis is an important (probably the most important) tool to increase test effectiveness. Each items contribution is analyzed and assessed. To write effective items, it is necessary to examine whether they are measuring the fact, idea, or concept for which they were intended.
The 60-item BNT is widely used, while there are shorter versions of the test to suit the needs of the particular assessment. The examiner begins with Item 1 and continues through Item 60, unless the patient is in distress or refuses to continue.
