TX Teacher — Step-by-Step Guide

This guide walks Texas Teachers through the Item Analysis report for Reporting Category Tests in EduSmart. Teachers can review Reporting Category Test results for a group, open the Itemwise Analysis to see how students answered each question, and download the reports.

STEP 1: Open the Item Analysis Report for Reporting Category Tests

Callout ①: From the top navigation bar, click Reports.

Callout ②: Select the Item Analysis tab.

Callout ③: Use the GROUP dropdown to select the class or group you want to review (e.g., Demo 6-8).

Callout ④: Select the Reporting Category Tests tab. Each test is listed with the number of students Assigned, Completed, the Average Score, and the Median.

Callout ⑤: Click Download report to download the Reporting Category Tests summary for this group.

STEP 2: Review the Itemwise Analysis

The Itemwise Analysis lists every question in the test with its Reporting Category, Standards, DOK level, Qn No., Qn Type, and the number of students who selected each answer choice — Student Selection (A) through (D).

Callout ⑦: Use the test dropdown to switch the Itemwise Analysis to a different Reporting Category Test without leaving the page.

Callout ⑧: Click Download report to download the item-level results for the selected test.

Note: An asterisk (*) marks the correct answer choice for each question. Non-multiple-choice items such as Cloze with text show N.A in the selection columns.
