This study was conducted during the first semester, school year  2001-2002.  More specifically, the study sought answers to the following sub-problems:  1. What is the difficulty and discriminating indices of the DAT in the area  of verbal ability, abstract reasoning, numerical ability and language usage?  2. What test items are internally valid as to difficulty and discriminating  indices?  3. On the basis of the data gathered, which of the multiple-choice items  will be retained, revised, discarded and sequenced according to index of  difficulty?  This study used the descriptive method of research in analyzing and  interpreting the Differential Aptitude Test (DAT), a five-option multiple choice  item test, using the high-low 27 percent group method of item analysis. The four  areas included were the 50-item verbal ability, the 50-item abstract reasoning, the  40-item numerical ability and the 60-item language usage. It was based on the  concept that standardized tests used for selective admission may be said  to be effective if it can predict the future performance of a student  applicant including academic achievement and the use of two or more tests as  bases is better than the use of only one test. This study is not a replication of any  study.  Simple statistics were used to compute the difficulty index (P-value) and  discrimination index (D-value).  aCollege admission.  cTHESjT 370 2002 153   c9597d9597  00104070aLRCbGSLd2026-07-30l0oT 370 2002 153r2026-07-30 10:37:47t1w2026-07-30yTHES
