The average of the discrimination index of the MCQs was 0. 25 ± 0. 24 and 57. 3% of the MCQs had a discrimination index. Accordingly, a Combination of the two difficulty and discrimination indices showed that only 248 MCQs (30. 7%) were ideal. 1525 distractor option (62. 9%) were functional distractor (FD) and 889 (37%) were non-functional distractor (NFDs).
