Hi Thomas,
there is not a function or page within the addon that will do this, BUT, there is still a way for you to get the data you need.

You can export your results, which will create a CSV that contains all submitted data, including the Question Title and Question Status (if the user got the question correct or incorrect) as columns.

Using this CSV, you can open it up with Excel or Google Sheets and sort by column (Question Status). This will group all the results by whether that question was correct or incorrect. Do this for each question to be able to easily see which questions are problematic.

The only downside to the above method is that you’d need to sort by each question one-by-one, which can be tedious if you have a quiz with a lot of questions.

And of course, you can always manually monitor results as they come in and hope you see any patterns emerge with poorly worded questions/answers.

Just thinking this through; how important would such a feature be for you?

The reason I’ve never built this in before is because storing the data in a way that makes sense for this would exponentially increase the computational/database cost of the addon.

However – just thinking on the fly here – maybe I could add in a function that allows you to select a quiz, and then the addon loops through all of the results for that quiz, and returns a list of questions that have… more than a 40% fail rate? So it wouldn’t show you “statistics for each question”, but would be useful as a warning tool for potential problem questions.

Hi Dylan.
I don’t have the plugin Save Results Pro, so I cannot go by your first suggestion of exporting results to .CSV. Otherwise, simply filtering in a spreadsheet is absolutely doable.

As for your thoughts about a possible way to accomplish it – I know the feeling 🙂
Extracting quiz result data is a task that won’t be run often, so I am not worried about the computational cost. I don’t think it will run 100% for such a long time, that monitoring tools of commercial web hotels will trigger and terminate the thread.

The down side of just listing questions with more than x% failure has only little value. It will need to also show if there is a trend of quiz takers often selecting a particular wrong answer.

Hi Dylan.
I’m curious. What’s the status?
