A good and reasonable examination paper must, therefore, consist of various difficulty levels to accommodate the different capabilities of students. \nIn this work, the difficulty level of each question in the examination paper is determined from the criteria of keyword/s found in the question. The paper provides conclusions on the current relationship between examination questions, learning outcomes and student performance, as well as providing some indication of the relative changes required to move toward a more appropriate association and hence improve an assessment strategy.
