Peer reviewedAustin, Joe Dan; Lee, Mary Ann Byrne – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
The relationship between content readability measures and mathematics test item difficulty was measured. An attempt was made to use readability to predict item difficulty. Results from the study are noted as somewhat discouraging, with only about 11 percent of the item difficulty variance explained by the selected readability measures. (MP)
