Nonfunctioning Options
In a previous study, Cizek and O'Day reported the effects of eliminating nonfunctioning options from five-option, multiple-choice test items. That study, however, only investigated the effect of option removal on item performance when items were studied as a set and not the effects of option removal for individual items. The authors also did not examine potential changes in dimensionality resulting from altering the items. The present study provi…
Further Investigation of Nonfunctioning Options in Multiple-Choice Test Items
This study addressed the hypothesis that, after the systematic elimination of nonfunctioning options, four-option test items would perform as well as five-option test items having one or more dysfunctional distracters. The study consisted of two investigations involving an examination administered to 700 candidates for certification in a medical specialty. In the first investigation, it was found that content experts exhibited a high degree of ac…
