NAEP Technical DocumentationOverall Descriptive Statistics for Item Blocks as Defined After Univariate Scaling, Age 9 Mathematics Long-Term Trend National Assessment, by Block: 2022
| Statistic | Block M1 | Block M2 | Block M3 | Block M4 | Block M5 | Block M6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The "Weighted average item score" of polytomous items is standardized to have a scale of 0 to 1 so they are comparable to dichotomously scored items. | ||||||
| The "Weighted proportion of students attempting last item" is equal to 1 – (Percent not responding to last item / 100). Weights are applied to reflect sampling design. | ||||||
| CR = Constructed response. Item statistics in this table are described on the page Blocks of Items. | ||||||
