Data was analyzed by SPSS-18 software and independent T test and
Chi-square, ANOVA & Tucky.
Results: Mean reliability coefficient (KR20) in total exams was 0.68(±0.31), Mean difficulty level %0.56 (±0.15), Mean discrimination index 0.21(±0.15). Mean of questions without structural defect 73.88(±14.88), Mean of Taxonomy I 34.65(±15.78), Taxonomy II 41.34 (±13.14) and Taxonomy III 23.99 (±15.40).
