what type of questions are considered 'easy' level, and what type 'difficult'?

I am wondering. If content type questions are easy, you have to know content, and for me-- knowing all those different meds- their side effects, ect is hard/impossible.

Does anyone know what the differentiation on this is?

In reality, the difficulty level assigned to an item is determined by how students perform when the item is being pretested as an unscored question.

In general, your select-all-that-apply and prioritization questions will often be the most challenging, but there's no way for a candidate to know the difficulty level of any specific item.
