The Question-level analysis report lets teachers analyse gaps in learning to inform targeted teaching at a question and strand level. You can view each learner’s specific results for every question and strand, as well as the overall performance of the group via the average scores for each question and strand.
If a test has facility/national average values available then a difference is calculated between the facility/national average and your learners’ average score. The question facility/national average is the percentage of pupils in our standardisation sample who got a question right and the strand facility/national average is the percentage score the standardisation sample achieved on a specific strand. The facility/national average allows you to compare the performance of your group/class/year group of learners to our standardisation sample (excluding ART, AMT, and BNST).
You can click Export test data in the top right corner to download the QLA report as a spreadsheet, which includes learners' raw marks, strand scores, standardised scores (SS), age-standardised scores (Age-SS), subject ages, and Hodder scale scores (HSS).
For learners working below:
If you have any learners who are working below and have taken a test that is outside of their age range (for example, Year 4 pupils who have taken New PUMA 2 Autumn), you can use the ‘Add learner(s) working below range’ feature at the bottom of the QLA report. This ensures that the average score for the selected class, group, or year group reflects the number of learners in the group and is not inflated.
Click the + and – buttons to add or remove learners working below range. Once added, the averages in the 'Overall scores' and 'Strand scores' sections will update. Please note that this is not saved: if you navigate away from the page, the information will be lost.
If you export the report as a spreadsheet, learners working below will be added at the bottom, one row per addition.

Download format: spreadsheet.
Test compatibility: All test series excluding SSRCT. However, please note that for our wide-span tests (ART, AMT, and BNST), facility/national average values are not provided, as the test papers for each product can be used across a wide age range. Consequently, the facility row and difference row at the top of the report will be hidden, and you will only be able to view your learners’ average scores for each question and each strand.
