Akindi provides Instructors with various reports for each assessment to help the instructor understand:
How well the students performed
To help instructors understand how well the students performed, Akindi provides the following analyses:
Easiest and Hardest Question
Akindi will display the three easiest and hardest questions on the 'Overview' tab.
The easiest question is the question that the most number of students answered correctly.
The most difficult question is the question that the fewest number of students answered correctly.
This data can be valuable in understanding which concepts the class understands fully and which concepts the class needs to review.
Answer Breakdown
In the ‘Graphs’ tab of the Results Analysis, you can find the 'Answer Breakdown'.
Akindi will highlight the number of students that:
Answered the question correctly (green)
Answered the question incorrectly (red)
Answered the question partially correctly (light-red)
left the question blank (yellow)
Selecting a bar will display a breakdown of the number of students that selected each response.
Grade Distribution
The 'Grade distribution' can be found in the 'Graphs' tab of the Results Analysis.
Akindi will highlight the mean, median, and standard deviation.
Full Responses Breakdown
In the 'Responses' tab of the Results Analysis, you can view a comprehensive breakdown of each student's test.
White cells indicate correct responses
Red cells indicate incorrect responses
Light-red cells indicate partially-correct responses
Orange cells indicate a blank response
How well the test questions performed
To help instructors understand how well the test questions performed,
Akindi provides the following analyses:
Best Constructed Questions & Questions that Could be Improved
Akindi uses the discriminatory score/ point biserial to help you understand to provide a statistical analysis of the best performing questions. Akindi is not analyzing the question content.
The discriminatory score measures the correlation between how the students performed on the test as a whole and whether they answered that question correctly vs incorrectly.

Point Biserial
Akindi uses the point-biserial correlation coefficient (rpb) to calculate a discriminatory score for each question in your assessment, and for your assessment as a whole.
On the 'Graphs' Tab, Akindi will provide the 'Point Biserial' for each question.
Selecting a bar will display a breakdown of the number of students that selected each response.
