When you are on your Adaptive Tests page and have taken at least one adaptive test, there is a button toward the upper right: View Class Summary.
Clicking this button will bring you to a page displaying a combined breakdown of all adaptive test results you have completed for that curriculum.
If you have taken adaptive tests in multiple curriculums, there will be the option to view results in each curriculum you have selected.
Note: If you do not see this option, you have either not taken an exam in multiple curricula or your instructor has not made multiple available to you.
Summative Results
This is a general overview of your performance on all adaptive tests taken within this curriculum.
Summary: This is an overall result based on how you met specific key indicators for Percentile Ranking, Average Score, and Highest Difficulty. The 4 possible Summary results are: Fail, Not Good, Good, and Exceptional.
Percentile: This number displays in what percentile you rank. This shows how you are doing on adaptive tests in this curriculum compared to all other students testing.
Questions Asked: The total number of questions you have been asked across all adaptive tests taken in this curriculum.
Correct Answers: The total number of questions you have answered correctly across all adaptive tests taken in this curriculum.
% Correct: Total percentage of correct answers out of the questions asked.
Tests Taken: The total number of single-module or comprehensive adaptive tests you have taken in this curriculum.
Overall Indication
The Ranks of Fail, Not Good, Good, and Exceptional, are based on surpassing the benchmark on 3 criteria: Percentile Ranking, Average Score, and Highest Difficulty.
A ranking of Fail means you were unable to surpass any of the benchmarks
A ranking of Not Good means you were able to surpass one of the benchmarks
A ranking of Good means you were able to surpass two of the benchmarks
A ranking of Exceptional means you were able to surpass all three of the benchmarks
Percentile Ranking
This percentage represents your position compared to all other students taking adaptive tests at your provider level. For example, an overall percentile of 67 in a module means you are in the top third of the system’s test-takers at that provider level in that curriculum. For the benchmark, aim to test above the 51st percentile.
Average Score
This is the percentage of questions you answered correctly out of all of the questions you were asked in this particular curriculum across all adaptive tests taken in this module. For the benchmark, you would want to answer more than 65% of the questions correctly.
Highest Difficulty
This describes the most difficult question you were exposed to during testing for a given module, even if it wasn’t answered correctly. Since, in an adaptive test, the more questions you answer correctly in a row the more complex the questions are that you are presented with, even being asked a question at a high difficulty level is an accomplishment. A question with a difficulty of 0.0 would be one that no one ever misses, and a difficulty of 0.96 would be an item that hardly anyone ever gets correct. For a benchmark, you will want to be asked a question with a difficulty above .60.
Curriculum Breakdown
The Curriculum Breakdown can be very helpful when trying to isolate specific areas that may require more study. To expand a module, select the triangle button immediately to the left of that module. This will display the topics associated with the module for which you answered questions. If testing in the Module, Topic, Objective (MTO) curriculum, you can expand the topics even further into individual objectives.
