Overview
The Item Analysis report helps teachers determine which items or concepts in a test were answered correctly, incorrectly, or skipped. This report is often used to help identify small groups of students with common needs. School and District Admins have the option to filter this report by grade level.
How to Run the Item Analysis Report:
- Select the Reports option from the left navigation menu on any page.
- On the Reports page, select Item Analysis.

Using the Item Analysis Report:
Any settings previously configured will automatically be displayed after clicking Run Report. If you make no changes to the settings, then the default settings will be displayed. In this case, the report will be sorted by the least known question(s) first, and any items not tested will be shown as incorrect.
