The IRR (Item Response Summary) has the “answers” for each question, the *(asterisk) is the correct answer. Copy the English/Reading portion and give to English and history teachers, math and reading portion give to math teachers, science and reading portion give to science teachers along with each item response summary. I know this seems like a lot, but it is at your fingertips. DO NOT EVER THROW YOUR TEST BOOKLETS AWAY-use them.
