      • The total number of examinees passing the item divided by the total number of examinees is item ___________.
Item difficulty (p) note: p = 0 to 1.0 (larger number – easier item)
      • This is calculated by subtracting the percent of examinees in higher scoring group from percent in lower scoring group who answered item correctly.
Item discrimination index (D) note: ranges from -1.0 to 1.0; D>.35 usually best
True score variability is called ...?

What is used for internal consistency reliability when items are dichotomous (right/wrong)?
Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20)
This is an index of the amount of error that can be expected in obtained scores due to the unreliability of a test and is used to create confidence intervals.
