There are
8 reports provided for analysis of data from the logged-in Test Area:
This report lists either tests

produces tables that can be easily exported to other programs such as an
Excel spreadsheet.
- If you want to specify the student, click the
Selected Students option.
-
List by STUDENT:
Display test titles:
If you select this option, each test name, date taken, number correct, test
score, and whether the student passed it or not, will be displayed below the
student's name.
Include employee answers below each test: If you check this box, then
the report will show the answer each student gave to each question in the
test and indicate whether it was correct or incorrect.
- If a test was taken more than once, display
only the highest score: If you uncheck this box, then everytime the student
took the test will be displayed.
Show ONLY the Combined Average:
If you select this option, then individual tests taken will not be
displayed.
- If this option is selected, then all tests
taken, not just the highest, are included in the combined average and
employee answers cannot be displayed.
Assign a 0 in the Combined
Overall Average to tests not taken:
If students were required to take certain
tests and did not take some of them, check this box.
They will be given a 0 on all tests
not taken.
- Note, if this option is selected, then only
the highest test scores are displayed.
List by TEST:
List ALL employees who took the test and show their highest scores:
If you select this option, everyone who took the test, whether they passed
or failed it, is listed.
List only employees who PASSED the test
and show their highest scores: If you select this option, only those
students who passed the test are listed with their highest score.
List
only employees who FAILED the test and show their highest scores:
If you select this option, then only students who failed the test are listed
along with their highest failing score. All lower failing scores are not
listed.
- Include employees who never took this
test, but who took other selected tests: If you check this box, then
students who never took the test, but did take other tests in this Test
Area, are listed and given a score of 0.
Include
ALL names or Only the Combined Average:
- If you select Include ALL names, then the name of every student, password, date
the test was taken, the time spent taking the test, the number correct, the
score, and whether the student passed the test or not, are all listed.
- If you select Only the
Combined Average, then the name of the test, the number of students who
took it, the percent that passed the test, and the average score are listed. The names of the students who took the test
and their individual scores are not listed.
Calculate totals on questions answered & ignore questions
unanswered: If you check this box,
then in addition to the number correct and the score (which is the number
correct divided by the number of questions in the test), two new fields
appear: Answered (which shows the number of questions actually answered),
and Percent (which shows the % correct based on those answered and not the
total number of questions in the test). The Combined
Average Scores are based on the questions answered rather than all the
questions in the test.
- If you do not
check this box, then the Combined Average Scores are based on ALL
questions in the test, including those not answered which are marked wrong.
Include employee answers below each test:
If
you check this box, then the report will show the answer each student gave
to each question in the test and indicate whether it was correct or
incorrect.
The Date Range,
if filled
in, restricts the analysis to tests taken during those dates. If you enter
just a start date, then it is everything after that date.

the drop down menus that can be setup to appear at the top of tests that list
