Grade Listing
The grade listing is normally sorted by name and includes identification

number or special codes.
Statistics

frequency distribution for the exam.
Item Analysis
The item analysis provides a verbal and statistical interpretation
of each question and each of its responses. The students are grouped
into the upper and lower scoring 27%, and based on their scores, the
program determines if the question was easy or difficult and if the
question discriminates between upper and lower scoring students.

questions. Just indicate the special scoring needed when completing
the services form when the exam is turned in for grading. (i.e. q1-q10
worth 2 pts. each, q11-20 worth 3.5 pts each

printing the number correct on the front of each scan sheet. No printout
of the results is given and no special scoring is available
