† Not applicable. 1 Nonpublic school sample includes only private and Catholic schools. NOTE: The "weighted average item score" of polytomous items are 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). Item statistics in this table are described on the page Blocks of Items.
