About the Item Analysis Report

An Item Analysis Report provides aggregate item data for every fixed-form assessment that reports item data at the district, school, and roster levels. Highlights of the Item Analysis Report include the following:

• Item reporting categories and standard alignments.

• Item types (for example, multiple choice).

• The percentages of the group of students who earned full, partial, and no credit on each item; if an item does not allow partial credit, “N/A” displays instead of a percentage.

To access the report, navigate to the District, School, or Roster Achievement on Test report.

In the Features & Tools menu, select Build Item Analysis Report. The Item Analysis window appears, open to the Summary tab.

To learn more about a standard, select beside the standard key.

To expand a table row and display more detailed data, select on the right. Select Show All Details to expand all rows. Select or Hide All Details to collapse rows.

• For multiple-choice items, the detailed information includes the distribution of students who selected each option, with the correct answer flagged with a checkmark .

• For items that are not multiple choice or are multi-part, the detailed information includes the distribution of points earned.

You can export the Summary tab to a comma-separated values (CSV) file using the Export menu at the top right. Select Basic Summary to include only the default table rows or Detailed Summary to include all the details in the expandable rows.

If item access is available for this test, you can navigate to the Single Item View tab either by selecting the tab or by selecting the number to the left of a listed item.

• At the top of the Single Item View tab is information on the item, including the same table shown in the expanded details in the Summary tab.

• Roster level only: Below the basic item information is a Student Performance table listing the class’s students, the points earned by each student on the item, and the maximum points for the item. This table is available only in a report on a roster.

• At the bottom of the Single Item View tab is the item itself.

  • The Item & Score sub-tab displays the item as it appeared to the students.

  • The item’s Rubric & Resources sub-tab contains the same information as the Rubric & Resources panel in an item window.

You can navigate between items using the item number buttons on the left and right.
