The presented table indicates that the majority of items meet the four

specified requirements, with the exception of the "concluding paragraph"

and “vocabulary” item. This particular item exhibits a misfit value

concerning the Zstd criterion for the outfit, as well as the "length of the text"

item, which demonstrates misfit values for both the Mnsq and Zstd criteria.

Interestingly, all items meet the criteria of point measure correlation which

indicate that all items are very good. The findings suggest that each

component of the analytic scoring rubric utilized to evaluate argumentative

text writing skills is regarded as suitable, implying that all components are

functioning adequately and capable of measuring students' writing

competency.
