    The difficulty index measures the difficulty of a task, such as a test, on a scale from 0 to 1. It is calculated by dividing the number of people who successfully completed the task by the total number participating. Teachers, trainers, and managers use the difficulty index to evaluate tests, training programs, and work tasks. An example is provided where 13 out of 20 students passed a test with a 70% passing grade, resulting in a difficulty index of 0.65 or 65% for that test.

    How to Calculate Difficulty Index

    By Dwight Chestnut, eHow Contributor

    Teachers use the difficulty index


    to improve test scores.

    The difficulty index measures the difficulty associated with a given task. The task can be a test
    associated with an educational course, training program or a work-related task. This is why the
    index is used by teachers, professionals, trainers and corporate managers. The index is between 0
    and 1 and presented in the form of a percentage.

    Things You'll Need

     Calculator

    Instructions
    o 1 Determine what constitutes a successful result of the exercise or task you are
    looking to evaluate. As a simple example, assume you are looking to measure the
    difficulty index of a test administered in a classroom where 70 percent is a
    passing grade.

    o 2 Record the number of people participating in the exercise. In our example,


    assume 20 students will take the test.

    o 3 Record the number of people who completed the exercise successfully. In our
    example, assume 13 students pass the test.

    o 4 Calculate the difficulty index by dividing the number of people who completed
    the task successfully by the number of people participating in the task. In our
    example, this is 13/20 which 0.65 or 65 percent. The difficulty index for this
    example is 65 percent.
