Follow the prompts below to obtain an FSA Item-Level Response Report for a specific year and subject (numeracy, reading, or writing). The Edudata search engine will produce a table to display the proportion of students in the selected district or school who made errors on each test item and a description of the misconception.

Districts and schools may download FSA Item-Level Response Reports at no cost. All reports are in English, except those for schools within District 93, Conseil Scolaire Francophone de la Colombie-Britannique, available in French.

There are two types of FSA test questions: multiple-choice and written response.

• Multiple-choice test questions are designed to target a specific content area while giving the student a number of choices to select as the correct response. Multiple-choice reports are available for reading and numeracy tests only.
  Incorrect responses, also known as ‘distractors', are designed to represent plausible errors in students' understanding at the level of content or process knowledge. If more than 20%* of students selected a specific plausible error, teachers and administrators know this is an area of concern that may need attention.
• Written response test questions are designed to target a specific content area and/or basic skill. The student must demonstrate ability and knowledge in choosing appropriate strategies and then implementing them to reach an accurate response. Written response reports are available for reading, writing, and numeracy tests.

To generate an Item-Level Response Report:

1. select a subject, grade level, and year
2. customize your report by selecting a specific question type, school type, and student error cut off point*
3. click “Submit” to select the district and school

* NOTE: The Cut Off option is a new feature in the Edudata Report Generator. In previous years, Item-Level Reports only documented if 20% or more students answered an item incorrectly. Now you choose the cut off: 10%, 15%, or 20%.
