Abstract

Over the past 5 years, a test analysis software program was developed and is being successfully used to modify faculty-constructed nursing tests administered to small classes.The interplay of instruction, students, and test items were variables considered while developing a practical, efficient program to produce test performance printouts designed to be used with little need for statistical interpretation.This test performance profile software is now available as freeware for individual nursing faculty.
