Statistical item analysis of the physics examination for Center for Foundation studies (CFS) IIUM students using the Rasch model

This study focuses on the statistical item analysis of the physics examination result for CFS students at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). In order to evaluate the quality of an item and the test as a whole, the Rasch Model is used in which simultaneously students' answers...
