We proceeded to the analysis of the items by calculating for each item, the index of difficulties. After analysis, we found that the indexes of difficulties are 0.15 to 0. 80 subsequently these indexes were ranked from the highest index (easiest item to the lowest index item) to the most difficult. The formula used is that of GULLIKSEN
