Item analysis for the written test of Taiwanese board certification examination in anaesthesiology using the Rasch model K.-Y. Chang, M.-Y. Tsou, K.-H. Chan, S.-H. Chang, J.J. Tai, H.-H.

Fig 1 Item distribution map for person and item measures on the same scale. Each ‘X’ represents an examinee. The vertical dashed line and nearby figures represent the common logit scale of person ability and item difficulty. The two horizontal lines indicate the upper and lower limits of person ability in the certification examination. The figures with the letter ‘Q’ at the right side of the vertical dashed line represent item numbers in the examination. This map does not contain the misfit item and 17 items correctly answered by all the examinees.
