Analyzing responses to each question
The response summary report shows how often each answer option is selected.
When someone submits a response, FlexiQuiz records their choice. Our system counts the number of times each response is selected and displays the results on a table you can download in an Excel file.
The response summary report works well for scored and non-scored quizzes, surveys or assessments.
How to access your response summary report
- Start by selecting the quiz that you want to analyze. From your main dashboard, click Analyze on the relevant quiz. Your Analyze screen will appear.
- Next to Report type, select Response Summary from the drop-down menu.
- You can scroll down the page to view the results for each question, which include the number of responses given for each answer option and the percentage of responses of the total given.
- To download the report in an Excel file, click the Export icon.
You can instantly view the responses to all the quizzes that are submitted.
Benefits of using the responses report for scored quizzes
The response summary identifies trends in the answer, such as common questions most people get right or wrong.
The trends help you:
Spot cheating: If many learners get the same questions right or wrong, it could suggest collaborating or sharing answers.
Identify knowledge gaps: If many students get a question wrong, it shows where they might need more learning.
Improve quizzes or surveys: You can identify confusing or misleading questions if responses are very mixed.
Benefits of using the report for non-scored quizzes and surveys
You can use the response summary to analyze a large number of responses for non-scored activities such as a survey or personality test. The summary can help you understand the most and least popular choices.
