Add export list of questions marked wrong during session
What was the most-missed question? To help in-person instructors improve their teaching, add ability for VE Team Leads to export a summary list of questions marked wrong as one of the Closing Out Session steps. This feature would be used at the end of an in-person class and in-person exam. Any statistics would be helpful. What was the most-missed Subelement? Should the instructor spend more time on one topic and less on another?

Allan BatteigerI am not sure what this would provide. I asked for and got for the QPC the stats for ALL questions on the Current tech pool. They are using that info for the next update. They are looking at the group of questions that are rarely missed as well as those that are missed the most. That would be more useful to a teacher than any one test printout.

Richard BatemanUnless you have a particularly large class this isn't likely to produce useful information -- the tests are very random, which means that relatively few of the questions will be seen by more than one or two people.

Richard BatemanIt's worth mentioning for instructors who are interested in something like this that with the hamstudy app your students can share their progress with you, which lets you see some of this while they are studying.

Alan Crosswell@allan - Rob's point is to improve on his specific teaching -- not what's generally the harder or easier questions across all candidates.
@richard - While candidates will not see the same specific questions, the instructors can potentially get an idea of which subelements/groups their students are having trouble with.
@rob - you can always eyeball the answer sheets to get a feeling for where the weakness is. -

Richard BatemanI completely understand why this seems like it would be helpful; many people feel it would be useful, and I felt the same. However, having pulled that type of information in the past I've found that it's far less useful than you would expect. The better place to put it I believe would be on the hamstudy side.
I do not plan to do this on the examtools side for those reasons; I won't say this is a "final" decision, but I don't see it being worth the time. That said, I do have a lot of other data and information which I *can* share if someone wants to hit me up =]
