ExamView Test Manager enables you to prepare numerous reports based on your students’ assignment results data. You can print a report for a single assignment, a group or all assignments. You can also customize a report to include selected students filtered by various criteria. Many of the reports include useful graphs and charts.
Use ExamView Test Manager to generate the following class and student reports:
Class Reports
Assignment Results
- The Assignment Results report provides performance data for each student for a particular assignment. The report includes the student’s name, ID, points earned, and percentage achieved. For online test, the report also includes attempts to complete the assignment, the start time (date and time), and the duration of the assignment (i.e., the total time to complete the assignment).
- The report also includes a separate page with the assignment statistics for the entire class (i.e., median, mean, low score, high score, range, and standard deviation) and a graph of the frequency distribution. When you choose this report, you can control various reporting options. For example, you can choose to show all of the student information or you can include the ID or alias for each student.
- Using the statistical data in the Assignment Results report, you can see how the majority of the students performed on the assignment. The duration data provides useful information for future reference; you can calculate the approximate amount of time required for the students to complete the assignment. Finally, you might use the Assignment Results report to post the results of an assignment.
Class Assignment Summary
- The Class Assignment Summary report provides the average for each student for all assignments or for a particular category (i.e., tests, quizzes, etc.) of assignments. You can summarize the data for all terms or one term. For example, you can create a report that shows each student’s average for all tests in the first term.
- Over time, the Class Assignment Report provides useful data to help you assess the performance of your class as a whole. From this information, you might be better equipped to assess the effectiveness of your teaching strategies and the associated assignments as they relate to the learning objectives/standards for the class.
Open-Ended Responses Worksheet
- The Open-Ended Responses Worksheet report allows you to score the open-ended questions that your students complete as part of a LAN-based or online test.
Item Analysis Summary
- The Item Analysis Summary report provides by type of question and by individual question, the percent of the class that answered each question correctly. For multiple choice questions, the report also shows the percent of the class that selected each response (or answer choice).
- You can use the response analysis in the Item Analysis Summary to identify areas in which you may want to focus a re-teaching activity so that you can better address particular learning objectives/standards. For questions with a high response analysis, you can validate the question. On the other hand, if a question has a low response analysis, you can assess whether the average points to a problem with the question. For example, suppose students answered a question overwhelmingly (e.g., 60%) with an incorrect response. This may have occurred because you recorded an incorrect answer for the question, the question was unclear, or you did not cover the information adequately in class.
- If, in a particular multiple choice question, the student responses are evenly distributed for all of the answer choices, the analysis may indicate that students randomly selected a response. If, in another multiple choice question, students selected the correct response at 65% followed by 30% for the next response, this response analysis data may point to a common mistake students made in determining the correct answer for the question. On a question-by-question basis, you should look for similar patterns; such information can provide insight into your students’ understanding of the material covered by the assignment.
Item Remediation Summary
- The Item Remediation Summary report provides a summary of questions that the class answered incorrectly at a rate higher than the set threshold level. The report pinpoints questions that may require reteaching. The report also provides links to remedial instruction resources. Look for the globe icon to indicate that content hyperlinks are supported.
- You can use the Item Remediation Summary to identify problem areas for your class and locate remedial instruction activities to help with re-teaching. The report shows the questions that fall above your set threshold, the question type, class average, state or learning objective, and keywords and state standards associated with the questions.
Class Roster
- The Class Roster report generates an alphabetical list of the students in a particular class. You can create a filter to include all of the class or selected students. Additionally, you can customize the Class Roster report by including the supplemental student information (i.e., ID/alias, password, grade, date of birth, sociological/economic, etc.).
- You might use this report to have a printed record of the ID/alias and password for each of the students in each class. You could then reference this printout if a student forgets his/her ID, alias, or password. However, to maintain privacy of the IDs, you would want to keep the printout in a safe place where students and others could not access the information.
Learning Focus
- The Learning Focus report provides a wealth of information to help you identify areas where your class (as a whole) needs to focus their learning efforts. To use this report effectively, the assignments you create must consistently include data for one or more of the following fields: learning objective, local standard, state standard, or national standard.
- One of the key advantages of using the ExamView Test Manager is that you can easily gather performance data over multiple assessments. The report shows the number of items for each standard. That way, you can gauge whether a standard was adequately covered. You can select one or more assignments by category or by date. You must also identify a focus range (e.g., 0% - 70%). The program produces a report that shows each standard (or learning objective), the number of questions assessed for that standard, class average, how many students are in the focus range, and how many are proficient.
Performance Summary
- The Performance Summary report provides a summary of your class’ performance for all class assignments in a category over a specified date range. The Performance Summary report lists a learning objective/standard, the number of items (i.e., questions) that assess that objective/standard, and the proficiency level that the class as a whole has attained.
- To use the Performance Summary report effectively, you must consistently include question information for one or more of the following fields in each of the items you create: learning objective, local standard, state standard, or national standard. (Many publishers include this information for the questions they provide.)
- You can customize the Performance Summary report to generate the performance data that best meet your needs. You can select the date range for the class assignments, and you can set an appropriate proficiency target (e.g., 70% and above) for the class assignments at a particular time in the term. As an example, you might set the proficiency target at 70% with the first class assignment that covers a particular learning objective/standard. Then, on a subsequent class assignment on the same learning objectives/standards, you might set the proficiency target at 80%.
Class Performance Progress Chart
- The Class Performance Progress Chart report shows at a glance how each student is performing on each of the learning objectives/standards for all assignments in a category over a specified date range. The report lists a learning objective/standard, the number of items (i.e., questions) that assess that learning objective/standard, and a proficiency indicator for each of the students.
- To use the Class Performance Progress Chart report effectively, you must consistently include question information for one or more of the following fields in each of the items you create: learning objective, local standard, state standard, or national standard. (Many publishers include this information for the questions they provide.)
- To customize the Class Performance Progress Chart, you can set the category of assignments, the date range of the class assignments, the number of proficiency levels, and the proficiency level value ranges based on your performance criteria. The report shows a circle icon to indicate each student’s performance on each of the learning objectives/standards.
Student Reports
Assignment Results
- The Assignment Results report reflects a student’s performance for one assignment. The report includes the following information: assignment average, points earned for each
question, and the student’s response for each question. An x appears next to each question that the student answered incorrectly. A hyphen appears next to each question for which the student earned partial credit. - If you select the option for performance results for learning objectives/standards, the Assignment Results report also includes each learning objective and the following performance data for that learning objective/standard: the average, points earned, the proficiency level, and the specific questions in the class assignment. To use the Assignment Results report effectively, you must consistently include question information for one or more of the following fields in each of the items you create: learning objective, local standard, state standard, or national standard. (Many publishers include this information for the questions they provide.)
- You can use this report to identify each student’s proficiency level for each of the learning objectives/standards for each assignment. This information may also help you to identify areas in which a student may need remedial work.
Assignment Review
- The Assignment Review report provides a tool to help your students understand the mistakes they made on an assignment. For each question answered incorrectly, the report shows the following: points earned, student’s response, correct answer, rationale, reference, and focus area (depending on the information available).
- To use the Assignment Review report effectively, you must consistently include extra question information for each of the items you create. (Many publishers include this information for the questions they provide.) For example, a study tip such as Refer to pp. 23-25 is the information in the Reference field for a question. Students, in this example, could use the report to refer to the specified pages in their textbook as they review the questions that they answered incorrectly.
- Students can use the Assignment Review report to review the completed assignments and to learn from their mistakes.
Student Progress Report
- The Student Progress Report shows a student’s progress for one or more terms. The report organizes the results by term and provides the following information for each assignment: assignment description, date assigned, category, points earned, percent achieved, and class average. A summary shows the term average by listing the total points earned out of the total possible points, the equivalent percent, and the class average.
- You can use the Student Progress Report to depict the student’s progress over time.
Learning Focus
- The Learning Focus report identifies areas where a student needs to focus his/her learning efforts. Based on a proficiency level you set, the report lists the learning objective/standards that a student has not mastered. For each of the learning objectives/standards the student has not yet mastered, the Learning Focus report lists the learning objective/standard, the associated number of items, the points earned on items, and the proficiency level that the student has attained.
- You can customize the Learning Focus report to generate the performance data that best meet your needs. You can select one or more class assignments by category and the date range for the assignments. You can set an appropriate focus range (e.g., 0% - 70%) for the class assignments at a particular time in the term. As an example, you might set the focus range at 0% to 70% with the first class assignment that covers a particular learning objective/standard. Then, on a subsequent class assignment on the same learning objectives/standards, you might set the focus range to 0% to 80%.
- You can use the Learning Focus report to help a student know exactly what to study in order to attain mastery level on the identified learning objectives/standards.
Performance Summary
- The Performance Summary report shows at a glance how a student is performing on all learning objectives/standards for all assignments in a category over a specified date range. The Performance Summary report lists each learning objective/standard, the number of items (i.e., questions) that assess each learning objective/standard, a proficiency score for each learning objective/standard, whether the student is proficient based on the proficiency target, and the average for each learning objective/standard.
- To use the Performance Summary report effectively, you must consistently include question information for one or more of the following fields in each of the items you create: learning objective, local standard, state standard, or national standard. (Many publishers include this information for the questions they provide.)
- You can use the Performance Summary report to identify specific learning objectives/standards where the student needs to focus his/her learning efforts.
