INSPECT®
One of the benefits of good distractor rationales is that it saves you significant instructional time. For example, on the concept of percent mark-downs, the distractor analysis would show me that the student could calculate the percent correctly but missed subtracting that from the original price. Rather than reteaching lessons on percent mark-down, I just need to teach the student to go back and and subtract that correctly calculated percent from the original price. I don’t need reteaching of the standard. I just need three minutes to explain a step the student missed.

The teacher will also get an Item Analysis report that will show item level data for each item. The question can be clicked on and the answers and distractor rationales with student names will be displayed. This can be saved or printed for immediate reteaching.
