Which report answers your question?

Start from the question, not the data

StudyDrome Exam Manager holds around 35 report screens: 28 in the Analytics workspace and seven inside a course. The workspace home is a card wall, grouped into nine families by the question each report answers. Every card routes to a real report, and reports that need a subject start from a list rather than an ID.

How is the analytics workspace organized?

The workspace is organized by the question you arrived with, not by the module the data came from. Nine families cover it.

Family

The question it answers

Tests Performance Reports

How did this exam behave?

Students Performance Reports

How did this candidate do?

Item Analysis

Which questions misbehaved, and which should be retired?

Question Bank Health

Can the bank still assemble a balanced paper?

Cohort Analytics

Did two groups sitting the same paper perform alike?

Longitudinal Analytics

Is this getting better, term over term?

Examiner Reports

Are the examiners marking consistently?

Subject Performance

Which subjects carry the program, and which drag on it?

Exam Integrity

How did attempts finish, and what happened during them?

Around 35 report screens sit under those names. That is 28 in the Analytics workspace and seven more inside a course, on its own analytics tab.

Several families have their own pages here. Item analysis covers difficulty, discrimination, and distractors. Reliability covers the coefficient and the standard error of measurement. The exam conduct report covers integrity. The examiner app covers what examiners score from.

How do you find the right report?

The Analytics home is a card wall. Each card names a report and says what it tells you, and every card routes to a real page. Fourteen are displayed on the home screen; the rest are listed under their family.

Some reports need a subject before they mean anything — an item analysis needs an exam, a bank health report needs a bank. Those seven start on a landing page that lists what is eligible. You pick from a list. Nobody has to find an identifier and paste it.

That is the whole navigation model: a question, a card, a report.

What can you take out of the system?

Exports are chosen per report to match how each one is used. A screen you read during a meeting and a file you attach to an appeal are not the same artifact.

The one worth knowing about is the student-results bundle. Ask for it, and you get a dated folder holding:

In the bundle

What it is

summary.pdf

The whole sitting, at a glance.

summary.xlsx

The same figures, ready to sort and filter.

A PDF per student

One file per candidate.

A PDF per written answer

Long-form answers as they were submitted.

The candidate's uploads

Any file a candidate attached during the exam.

manifest.json

What is in the folder, so an archive stays readable.

Names can be masked on the way out. Ask for it, and every candidate becomes "Student" and a number. A moderation panel can read the scripts without reading who wrote them.

Excel files arrive with named worksheets rather than one flat sheet. An exam conduct export opens on Summary and Attempts. An examiner activity export opens on Summary and Sessions. An OSCE station assessment export gives you one sheet per station.

What does the analytics workspace guarantee?

Reporting suites are easy to demonstrate and hard to live with. These are the properties that determine what it becomes.

  • Every card on the home screen routes to a real report. Nothing on it is a dead end.

  • Reports that need a subject start from a list of what is eligible, so you pick rather than paste an identifier.

  • Exports are chosen per report to match how each one is used.

  • A student-results bundle can be left with names masked, so a panel can read the scripts without reading who wrote them.

  • Excel files include named worksheets, so an export opens to the sheet you wanted.

  • The per-course tab carries seven screens of its own. A course lead sees their own exams without going near the workspace.

Who needs the analytics workspace?

  • Assessment leads who have to bring evidence to a board rather than a summary of it.

  • Exam offices assembling an appeal bundle against a deadline.

  • Program directors are asking whether this year's cohort really did worse.

  • Anyone who has been handed a spreadsheet and asked where the number came from.

Frequently asked questions

What reports does StudyDrome Exam Manager produce?

Around 35 report screens: 28 in the Analytics workspace and seven more inside a course. They fall into nine families — test performance, student performance, item analysis, question bank health, cohort analytics, longitudinal analytics, examiner reports, subject performance, and exam integrity. Each family is named after the question it answers.

How do you find the right report?

Start from the question rather than the data. The Analytics home is a card wall grouped into nine families, and each card says what its report covers. Fourteen are surfaced on the home screen. Reports that need a subject first, such as item analysis, open a list of eligible exams so you pick one rather than pasting an identifier.

Can you export exam results?

Student results are exported three ways: a PDF, an Excel workbook, and a ZIP bundle holding both, plus a PDF per candidate, a PDF per written answer, any files candidates uploaded, and a manifest. Exports are chosen per report, so what a given screen offers depends on the report it's for.

What evidence comes out of an exam that you have to defend?

The results bundle carries the scripts and the scores. The exam conduct report shows how each attempt ended, with a violation timeline for each candidate. Item statistics and reliability quantify the decision at the pass mark. Together, they are the chain a board or an appeal panel asks to see, and each one is exportable on its own.

What does the per-course analytics tab add?

Seven screens scoped to one course, sitting inside that course rather than in the central workspace. A course lead opens their own exams, their own cohorts, and their own question performance without filtering a program-wide report down to their part of it. The central workspace stays for people who work across courses.
