The item analysis report provides statistics on each question within a single assignment. Teachers will be able to view the section average score on each question within a single question bank assignment or compare multiple sections’ scores. 

The item analysis report is the best way to get a bird’s eye view of a single assignment. When you want to see what your class is struggling with on a particular assignment or quiz, this report will help by providing you with the average score for each individual question across all students’ attempts, the average of best scores, and the average of the most recent attempts on the question. Teachers will be able to tell if students are improving on the activity and concepts, if the concepts are something teachers want to spend additional time on in class, or address in a future assignment.
