Quiz Items Table

The Quiz Items table displays statistics and details about each question in the quiz, including:

Question Items Question Item Description
Question Question text. Truncated to 70 characters.
Mean Calculated as a percentage to two decimal places using the score for each user’s first attempt at the question.
Top Incorrect Answer Most frequently reported incorrect answer. Note: Only populated for multiple choice and true or false questions.
Top Incorrect Answer Rate Response rate between 0 and 1 for those who selected the most common incorrect answer. Note: Only populated for multiple choice and true or false questions.
In Question Pool Indicates if the question is part of a question pool.
Standard Deviation The standard deviation of the grade of the question using each user’s first attempt.
Correlation This calculates any possible correlation between the question score and the total quiz score. Displays N/A when all users answer the question correctly.
Discrimination Index This calculates any possible discrimination in the question between the higher and lower-performing learners by subtracting the question’s lower 27% from its upper 27%. The higher the difference, the better the question discriminates between high and low-performing learners. A negative value indicates that more low-performing learners are correctly answering the question than high-performing learners. This would most likely indicate a flawed quiz question.
Upper 27% Average question grade of the users with quiz grades in the top 27%. Note: When there are 10 or fewer question attempts, the upper and lower 50% is considered instead of 27%. This makes the statistic relevant with smaller sample sizes.
Lower 27% Average question grade of the users with quiz grades in the lowest 27%.
