Background/purpose: This study aimed to reveal the accuracy of estimation of multiple-choice test items parameters following the models of the item-response theory in measurement. Materials/methods: The researchers depended on the measurement accuracy indicators, which express the absolute difference between the estimated and actual values of the parameters of the items. The researchers depended on the square root of the error's mean squares and their relative efficiency (RE). (1500) responses were generated under the assumption of a normal distribution, following the ability parameter. Several tests comprising (50) items each were generated under the assumption of distributions (normal for difficulty, regular for discrimination, regular for guessing), assuming that the tests are multiple-choice, using the Wingen V data generation V.3 program. The BILOG-MG software was used to estimate the item's parameters using the marginal maximum likelihood method. Then, the estimated parameters were compared to the actual parameters using two indicators (absolute difference, the square root of the squares mean of the error, and the relative efficiency index of the variances of the estimated parameters). Results: The study results showed that the three-parameter model was more accurate in estimating the difficulty parameter, followed by the single-parameter model and then the two-parameter model. Conclusion: The results showed that the three-parameter model was more accurate than the two-parameter model. Also, the results showed the guessing parameter is only related to the three-parameter model. The estimated guessing parameter was more accurate in the five-alternative tests, followed by the three-alternative tests and then the four-alternative tests.
