This study has used the correlation between student ratings of multiple-choice items and the point biserial correlation between the item responses and the total test score as a measure of the validity of student ratings of objective test items. Results show students are unable to distinguish discriminating multiple-choice items from non-discriminating items. However, students with knowledge of the subject area were able to distinguish discriminating items at a statistically significant level.
