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.
There are 170 items on the exam. 150 are scored items, and 20 are pretest items that do not count toward the passing score. The pretest items are scattered throughout the test at random, so there is no way to tell which items count toward the score and which items donât.
