# Exams report

> How students do in exams: completions, approval rate, average score and score distribution, and each student's results with the answer sheet.

The exams report shows how students do in exams: how many completed, how many passed, the average score and how scores are spread. From each exam, you open each student's results and their answer sheet.

## What it is for

- **Low approval rate with a high average score.** The minimum score sits close to the average. Look at the distribution: many completions just below the passing range point to an exam at the edge.
- **Many completions in 0 to 20.** Students finish on time-out or guess. Open the results and a few answer sheets.
- **An exam with few completions in a busy product.** The exam sits far into the course, or students stop before it. Compare with the [products report](https://help.cademi.cloud/en/relatorios/produtos.md).

The report is in **Reports > Exams**, in the **Learning** group.

## What counts as a completion

- A **completion** is an attempt the student finished: they submitted every question or the time ran out.
- If the student retakes the exam, the new attempt replaces the previous one. Only the new one counts.
- Scores go from 0 to 100.
- A student **passes** when the score is equal to or above the minimum score. The minimum the exam had at the time of the attempt applies. Changing the minimum later does not change old results.

## The numbers and the charts

At the top, four numbers: **Exams**, **Conclusions**, **Approval rate** and **Average score**. They follow the **Product** chip and the period.

Below, two charts:

- **Approval** (**Passed vs. failed**): the donut with the rate in the center and the counts of **Approved** and **Failed**.
- **Score distribution** (**Completions by score range**): how many completions fell in each range, from 0 to 20 up to 81 to 100.

## The exam list

The list shows the exams of products in showcases that were not deleted. The exam with the most completions comes first.

| Column | What it measures |
|---|---|
| **Exam** | The title, with the showcase and product below. The title opens the exam in the product |
| **Conclusions** | How many finished attempts the exam has in the filter |
| **Approval rate** | Passed over completions. The bar turns green from 70%, amber from 50% and red below that |
| **Average score** | The average of the completions' scores |
| **View results by student** | Opens the list of who completed the exam |

An exam with no completion shows a dash in the rate and the score.

### Filters

- **Search exam...** finds an exam by title. The search filters only the list. The numbers at the top do not change.
- The **Product** chip filters the whole screen: numbers, charts and list. The chip only offers products that have exams.
- **Period**: **All time** (the default), **This month**, **Last month** or **Custom**. The period counts by the completion date.

**Heads up:** with a period, the list shows only the exams that had a completion in it. An exam that vanished was not deleted. Go back to **All time** to see it.

## See each student's results

1. Open **Reports > Exams**.
2. On the exam's row, click **View results by student**.

The screen opens with the same period as the list. **Back to the exams report** goes back with the same filter.

At the top, the exam shows **Conclusions**, **Approved** (with the percentage) and **Average score**.

The list has one row per completion. The newest comes first:

| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| **Student** | Name and email. Opens the exams tab of the profile |
| **Date** | The completion date |
| **Score** | The score and the minimum |
| **Correct · Wrong** | How many questions the student got right and wrong |
| **Status** | **Passed** or **Failed** |

**Search by name or email...** finds a student.

### See the answer sheet

1. On the student's row, click **View answer sheet**.

The attempt opens question by question, with what the student marked. **Back to the completions list** closes the answer sheet.

The page address changes with the answer sheet open. Copy the link to send it to another administrator.

## Good to know

- **Updated every 24 hours.** The numbers at the top and the charts without a filter update once a day. The list, the results by student and the numbers with the **Product** chip or a period are calculated on the spot. That is why a completion from today shows in the list before it enters the number at the top.
- **Completions, progress and passing.** An attempt **reopened** or a result **deleted** by an administrator leaves the completions. Finishing the exam completes the lesson even when failing. That is why product progress and passing are different things.
- **Students in the trash.** They leave every count in this report.

## Frequently asked questions

**An exam vanished from the list.** A period is applied, and the exam had no completion in it. Go back to **All time**.

**The student completed the lesson but shows as failed.** That is right. Finishing the exam completes the lesson even when failing.

**The list shows a completion from today, but the number at the top did not change.** Without a filter, the numbers at the top update once a day. The list is calculated on the spot.
