Question Details
When you generate a test, you can click the "Show question details" box to include additional information about each question; its ID values, status, topic, point value, and so forth, in the generated document.
What’s next?
Chances are your next step is to copy the tests and give them to the learners. But when they give them back to you for grading, here are a few things to keep in mind:
•You can enter the scores in VISION. If you do, VISION can compute test question statistics that will help you to identify questions that may not be reliable or valid. VISION will use the data to suggest a level of difficulty for each question.
•You can also merge the scores with prior scores, so that VISION can refresh the statistics for each test question. The more times the question is used, the more meaningful the statistics become.
