To generate an Item-Level Response Report:

1. Select Year (Exam Session)
2. Select Domain
3. Customize your report by selecting a specific student error cut off point* and school type
4. Click “Continue” 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%.

Follow the prompts to obtain the June 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 Science 10 Item-Level Response Report for a specific exam form or domain. 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 the Item-Level Response Reports at no cost. All reports are in English.

Between 2005 and 2008, the exams contain three types of test questions: multiple-choice (MC), true/false (TF), and matching (MT). In 2009, there are only multiple-choice (MC) test questions. 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.

• Multiple-choice test questions are designed to target a specific content area while giving the student four choices to select as the correct response.
• True/False test questions are designed to target a specific content area while giving the student two choices to select as the correct response.
• Matching test questions require the student to choose appropriate answers from a list for a series of items (in general four to six items).

The British Columbia Ministry of Education provides a Curriculum Connections document that contains Prescribed Learning Outcomes assigned to each exam question. The Item-level reports contain this information for each item. Click here to view the Prescribed Learning Outcomes

The June 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Science 10 exam reports are organized by Domain (curriculum organizer). For easier print, an additional report including All Domains is available since 2008.

For June 2005, June 2006 and June 2007 sessions, Science 10 exam results are based on more than one exam forms. The June 2008 and June 2009 Science 10 exam results are based on one exam form (A).
