As number of persons giving correct answer to an item increases, curve increases and curve decreases and intersect at a point (say. Items lying outside the interval [ where SD is standard deviation of or can be deleted. Choosing acceptance region as [] may result in discarding too few items. For Likert scale, items with high values of CV may be deleted. Relationship of reliability and discriminating values helps to find effect of such deletions. Conclusions: Proposed method of item deletions based on difficulty values and discriminating values offers significant benefits and is recommended.
