The Pre-Post group response analysis and Pre-post question summary will only show results for students that sat both the pre and post-test. The full list of compared students and excluded students are available in the report, below the assessment session details.


Pre-Post group response analysis

  • Assessment session details are shown at the top of the report for both selected sessions.
  • Details of matching students, as well as students who were excluded for only being in one instead of both sessions, can be viewed by clicking on the students compared/not included links beneath the session details.
  • Each student row consists of a student's results, with the upper row showing Pre-test results and the lower row showing Post-test. 
  • Each column covers equivalent questions from the test, with the question number, report area, syllabus outcome and percentage of students who answered correctly at the top of each column. 
  • Select the question number at the top to go to the Pre-Post response summary for that question.
  • Correct answers are shown as a tick in a green cell.
  • Incorrect answers are shown as a cross in a pink cell, alongside the incorrect response chosen by the student. If the student skipped the question, it is shown as 'NR' and marked as incorrect.
  • The report is responsive to the width of the browser window and can display more columns on a wider screen.
