NAEP Technical DocumentationScore range and percent agreement for the constructed-response items from the previous year assessed that were rescored in 2012, age 9 reading long-term trend assessment, by block and item: 2012

Block	Item	Range of response codes	Sample size	Percent exact agreement
NOTE: Special codes assigned to student responses including blank, off-task, and not-scorable were included in the calculation of the percent exact agreement measure.

Score range and Cohen's Kappa or intraclass correlation for the constructed-response items from the previous year assessed that were rescored in 2012, age 9 reading long-term trend assessment, by block and item: 2012

Block	Item	Range of response codes	Sample size	Cohen’s Kappa	Intraclass correlation
NOTE: Cohen’s Kappa is a measure of reliability that is used for items that are dichotomously scored. The intraclass correlation is used for items with more than two categories. The intraclass correlation is not reported for dichotomously scored items. The discrepancy in sample sizes compared to the first table is due to the fact that percent agreement is calculated from the entire sample size, while Cohen's Kappa and intraclass correlation statistics exclude those who omit the item.
