  1. Note. Each item is labeled by skill and item number. For example, RITEM1, LITEM1, WITEM1, and SITEM1 refer to Item 1 in the Reading, Listening, Writing, or Speaking Sections, respectively. TOEFL_R, TOEFL_L, TOEFL_W, and TOEFL_S refer to the sum score in the Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking Sections, respectively. The paths from the RITEM1, LITEM1, WITEM1, SITEM1, and TOEFL_R are fixed to 1 for identification. Factor loadings for the RITEM3, RITEM11, RITEM21, RITEM23, RITEM29, RITEM30, RITEM44, LITEM10, LITEM19, LITEM28, LITEM35, and LITEM50 are statistically nonsignificant. All other factor loadings are statistically significant
