Viewing Items in Reports
An Assessment Report table that displays scores for individual non-secure items also allows you to view the items as they appear in the assessment. You can view items in a blank state or with a student's entered response.
Note that adaptive tests do not allow item view except when you're viewing an individual student in the Student Performance on Test report.
To view an item:
Do either of the following:
- To view an item in a blank state, click the item number in the first row of the report table.
- To view a student's response to the item, find that student's name in the Student column on the left. Then click the score the student obtained on that item.
The Item View window appears. Refer to About the Item View Window.
To navigate to other items
- To view another item, use one of the buttons
labeled with the previous and next item numbers at the upper corners of the Item View window. The items appear in the same order in which they appear in the report. - If you're viewing a student's response, then to view another student's response to the current item, click the arrows to the right of the Student field
at the top of the window. The students' names appear in the same order in which they are sorted in the report.
About the Item View Window
The Item View window contains an Item & Score tab and a Rubric & Resources tab. A banner at the top of the window displays the item's number and score (only when you're viewing a student's response).
The Item & Score tab may include the following sections, which vary by item.
- Scoring Criteria: When you're viewing a student's response and the item has scoring criteria, the Scoring Criteria table appears, listing the name, maximum points, points earned, and/or condition codes for each scoring criterion.
- Item: Displays the item as it appeared on the assessment in the Student Testing Site. If the item is associated with a passage, the passage also appears.
- When you're viewing a student's response and the student tested with test settings (such as larger font size), you can use the toggle in the upper-right corner of this section to show or hide the student's settings in the item view. Toggling does not change any student settings preferences you've selected using the My Settings drop-down list. For information on setting those preferences, refer to Setting Student Setting on Item View.
- When a student's response consists largely of text copied from the prompt, and the appropriate condition code indicates that, the copied text is highlighted.
- Items are displayed in English by default. If an item is available in multiple languages, you can use the Item Language drop-down list at the upper-right corner to select a language.
The Rubric & Resources tab may include the following sections, which vary by item. You can expand and collapse them by clicking 
and 
to the left of each section header.
- Details: May include the following sub-sections:
- Topic: Reporting category or skill area to which the item belongs.
- Content Alignment: Describes the standard and claim to which the item is aligned.
- Resources: Provides links to any exemplars or training guides available for the item.
- Rubric: Displays the criteria used to score the item. This section may also include a score breakdown, a human-readable rubric, or an exemplar, which provides an example of a response for each point value.
- Frequency Distribution of Student Responses: This section appears on fixed-form tests and contains a table providing a breakdown of how many students in the campus earned each possible point value available for the item.
