Submitting a user's quiz
If a user starts a quiz but does not submit the attempt, the quiz displays as "in progress" on the Grade Quiz page, and the Enter Quiz as User (people) icon appears beside the attempt. If you want to submit the quiz for the user:
- Go to the quiz and select Grade from the context menu.
- Click Show Search Options.
- Change the option filter to Users with attempts in progress and click the magnifying glass/search icon above the filter. This will display students who have a quiz that is pending.
- Click the Enter Quiz as User (people) icon beside the quiz attempt in progress.
- Click Go to Submit Quiz and follow the prompts.
- Click Submit Quiz. You will return to the Grade Quiz page and stop impersonating the user.
Note You will need to reset your filter to Users who have submitted an attempt. (There is a special KB article for this process).
Viewing quiz statistics
You can view and export quiz statistics to a CSV file for data analysis. The CSV file contains all applicable information on the quiz so that you can query, sort, and evaluate the data without being connected to the learning management system. In this view, you can see a list of quizzes for the course. The average grade for each quiz displays beside the quiz name.
- All statistics are calculated based on a user's first attempt of the quiz. If a question is changed after attempts have occurred, then only the attempts on the newest version of the question are included in the statistical calculations.
- Average grade is calculated only for first attempts of the quiz.
- Quiz statistics are not available on pool or randomized quizzes.

Understanding User Stats
User Stats CSV files contain performance data by user, including the user’s Org Defined ID, username, first name, last name, quiz score, the value the quiz was graded out of, the user’s score as a percentage, the class average, and the standard deviation for the class.
Tip Create a column in the CSV file to calculate the median score on the quiz to consider the class’s performance from a different perspective. Use the formula <=median(x1:x5)> to calculate the median.
Understanding Question Stats
Question Stats CSV files contain data about the average score on questions by points and percentage, as well as the standard deviation, discrimination index, and point biserial for each question.
The question title, text, bonus status, and difficulty level are included in the CSV file so that data can be analyzed without referring back to the learning management system.
Tip You can sort, query, hide, and delete data in the CSV file to help your analysis and create charts or graphs to visually represent trends.
Understanding Question Details
Question Details CSV files contain detailed information about each question in the quiz, including a list of all of the answers provided for each quiz attempt, how many users chose each possible answer, the total number of responses, and the average score, standard deviation, point biserial, and discrimination index for each question. Question Details reports can help you evaluate trends in answers and look for questions that were unclear or difficult for a number of users.
The question title, text, bonus status, and difficulty level are included in the CSV file so that data can be analyzed without referring back to the learning management system.
Tip Create a column that calculates the average score for all question attempts as a percentage by dividing the Average Score column by the Out Of column and multiplying by 100. Next, create a custom filter for the new Attempt Average column that displays only rows where the attempt average is less than 51%. This way you can quickly review questions that users struggle with and adjust grades or your lesson plans accordingly.

Understanding statistic types
Note: The discrimination index and point biserial are rendered more inaccurate the more edits you make to a quiz.
| Statistic type | What is measured |
|---|---|
Standard deviation | The standard deviation indicates how much scores vary from the average, ranging from 0% to 100%. A high standard deviation indicates that scores are spread out from the average, whereas a low standard deviation indicates that scores are close to the average. |
Discrimination index | The discrimination index indicates how well a question differentiates between high and low performers. It can range from -100% to 100%, with high values indicating a "good" question, and low values indicating a "bad" question. |
Point biserial | The point biserial correlation coefficient is an analysis applied to multiple choice and true/false question types that have only one answer with a weight of 100%, and all other answers with a weight of 0%. The point biserial correlation coefficient relates individuals' quiz scores to whether or not they answered a question correctly. It ranges from -1.00 to 1.00, with high values indicating a "good" question, and low values indicating a "bad" question. Note Only first attempts with scores between 0% and 100% on a question are included in that question's statistics. |
