Answers to Reasoning Questions

The correct answer to question 1 is number 4. If a San Francisco clock shows 4:00 and is one hour behind (slow), the actual time in San Francisco is 5:00. Therefore, the time in New York, which is three hours ahead, would be 8:00, or choice 4.

The correct answer to question 2 is number 4. Choice 1 cannot be concluded, since most but not all of the Gaspard family lives in South Louisiana. Choice 2 is not supported by the passage at all. Choice 3 cannot be concluded, because the passage states that many, not all, people in South Louisiana celebrate Mardi Gras. Therefore, the answer is none of the above, or choice 4.

The correct answer to question 3 is number 1. The passage does not address whether or not Bill will be able to reschedule his meeting, so choice 2 cannot be concluded. Choice 3 cannot be concluded, because the passage says he will probably lose a major account, but this is not a certainty. Choice 1 is a correct conclusion, because the passage states that Bill must use Highway 19 to get to work, and that Highway 19 is closed all day. Therefore, it can be concluded that Bill would not be able get to work that day.

The correct answer to question 4 is number 3. Choices 1, 2, and 4 all describe characteristics that could be easily changed or hidden. However; a scar on the face is noticeable and could not be easily disguised or removed. Therefore, the best answer is choice 3.

Item Discrimination

II:

The point biserial correlation (PBC) measures the correlation between the correct answer (viewed as 1 = right and 0 = wrong) on an item and the total test score of all students. The PBC is sometimes preferred because it identifies items that correctly discriminate between high and low groups, as defined by the test as a whole instead of the upper and lower 27% of a group. ParScore reports this value as item discrimination in column 5 on the “Standard Item Analysis Report” attached.

Inspection of the attached report shows that the PBC can generate a substantially different measurement of item discrimination than the simple item discrimination difference described above. Often, however, the measures are in close agreement.

Generally, the higher the PBC the better the item discrimination, and thus, the effectiveness of the item. The following criteria may be used to evaluate test items.
