Abstract:
In the item bank construction of medical microbiology examination questions,the accurate difficulty coefficient is an important parameter to guarantee the quality of the bank.Thus,the accurate difficulty estimate plays an important role in the item bank construction of examination questions.Methods of estimating the difficulty of medical microbiology test questions were explored,based on the knowledge points,the type of test questions,the structure of test questions and the degree of students’ familiarity with the questions and so on.Finally,the feasibility of methods was confirmed through the simulated tests.
