A total number of 86 items were subjected to experts for relevancy testing and finally selected 69 items for the item analysis. These 69 items were pretested on 36 respondents from other than the study area. Based on the item analysis score, difficulty and discrimination index were calculated. The items with difficulty index ranging from 30 to 80, discrimination index above 0.3 were selected.
