The test statement s effectiveness extent was verified when applied on Kuwaiti environment, where test statements difficulty coefficients ranged between (.17-.95) with a mean amounting (.56), while test differentiation coefficients statements ranged between (.41-.73) with a mean amounting (.57) These results indicate that test has acceptable psychometric properties qualify it to be used in the new environment.
