You can view and export quiz statistics and reports to a CSV file and/or an Excel file for data analysis.

In this view, you can see a list of quizzes for the course. The average grade for each quiz displays beside the quiz name.

To view quiz statistics
- On the Manage Quizzes page, open the Actions drop-down menu for the quiz you want to view and click Statistics.
Figure: Select Statistics in the Actions drop-down menu.
-
On the View Statistics page, click the User Stats, Question Stats, and Question Details tabs to view statistics organized by user and by question.
Note: If you have Deduct points for incorrect answers enabled on a quiz, the results displayed on the Question Statstab are updated. Point Biserial results may be lower when point deduction is enabled. Standard Deviation has a wider distribution to account for point deductions. Questions with a negative average score appear below zero in the Grade Distribution graph. If you enable point deduction, enter deduct points, and then turn off point deduction, deducted points existing in the system will result in incorrect score calculations. For more information about point deduction, refer to the Create a quiz with point deduction section of the Create and configure a quiz topic.

Tip: You can create a column to calculate the median score on the quiz to consider the class’s performance from a different perspective. Use the formula <=median(x1:x5)> to calculate the median. |
Understanding Question Stats
Question Stats CSV and Excel files contain data about the average score on questions by points and percentage.
The question title, text, bonus status, and difficulty level are included in the files so that data can be analyzed without referring back to the learning management system.

Understanding Question Details
Question Details CSV and Excel files contain detailed information about each question in the quiz, including a list of all of the answers provided for each quiz attempt, how many users chose each possible answer, the total number of responses, and the average score on the question. Question Details reports can help you evaluate trends in answers and look for questions that were unclear or difficult for a number of users.
The question title, text, bonus status, and difficulty level are included in the CSV file so that data can be analyzed without referring back to the learning management system.
|
Tip: You can create a column that calculates the average score for all question attempts as a percentage by dividing the Average Score column by the Out Of column and multiplying by 100. Next, create a custom filter for the new Attempt Average column that displays only rows where the attempt average is less than 51%. This way you can quickly review questions that users struggle with and adjust grades or your lesson plans accordingly. |
