Abstract

This study investigated various statistical characteristics of TOEIC only biased on Korean samples, which have rarely been studied before. Test-retest reliability indices produced with 3-month duration and KR20 based on samples included suggested both scales of TOEIC having good quality of score stability and internal consistency. The excellence of criterion-related validity was found based on the relationship with other tests measuring similar domains and a test measuring practical English use in self-report survey form. The item analyses also showed TOEIC tests included in. this study had a satisfying level of item difficulty and discrimination.
