A Revision of Bloom's Taxonomy: An Overview

The suggested formula can be used to control for  the difference in difficulty between different exams. This allows researchers to weigh courses and exams differently based on the perceived difficulty of the exam content. However, to assign a Weighted Bloom's Index to a exam or question, special training is needed.
