Latest enhancements to the Results Analysis Package (RAP)

Several new features to the Results Analysis Package (RAP) have been introduced in response to positive feedback from schools. These include the ability to:

  • open a simplified link from Schools Online (Administration) to a new RAP home page
  • view item analysis for an entire course with data that is fully exportable (as well as still be able to see item analysis for a particular question)
  • combine item analysis questions within a course so that concepts can be grouped for analysis eg select all the questions relating to geometry in the Mathematics examination to analyse how your students have grasped a specific concept
  • view not only the school assessment marks versus examination marks graphs but also the graphs showing ranks as well.

Schools have been actively using the Results Analysis Package (RAP) to analyse data from the 2011 HSC examinations to enhance their teaching and learning.

Schools can order RAP via the online order form for $120.
