Conceptual multiple-choice questions are frequently used to assess students’ understanding. However, quality of multiple-choice questions is rarely assessed using psychometric analysis.

In its current state, jMetrik allows classical item analysis, reliability estimation, test scaling, nonparametric item response theory, and Rasch measurement models.
