Access Item Analysis Reports

Pearson offers four Item Analysis reports that focus items, and domains or strands for performance. They provide percentages and levels, and provide a breakdown of earned credit by any one of the following: 

  • Student
  • Item
  • Standard
  • Domain
Teachers can base their academic goals and align their curriculums with these results to effectively influence student learning.
Depending on your project, you may see links to view the items, student responses, and rubrics.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your role under your name and your district or school in the Organization dropdown. If you have access to multiple projects or organizations, click each dropdown to select the one(s) you want to view.
  • Tests must have been previously scored. Pearson provides these reports based on responses received from your class. This report only reflects those provided responses.

Trait Scoring

Reports may contain trait scoring for open-response items. Depending on your program, you may see correlated standards listed for the overall item or for each item trait. In the example below, the report displays overall performance on the item, with each trait and correlated standards, as well as performance on each trait.

1 -  The Item ID appears for the overall item.

2 - Conventions and Expression are the traits for this overall item. 

3 - Domains indicate subject areas for these traits. In this example, Language and Writing domains align with these traits.

4 - Standards can appear in the Item ID row or in the trait/domain row, depending on your program. This example displays standards (for example, L.5.1) aligned with each trait rather than the overall item.

5 - Performance indicators for traits appear in the same column as they do for other item types.
