Organizations involved in medium and high-stakes testing must employ sound test development, administration and scoring processes to help ensure fair, reliable and valid assessments. But despite the best efforts to achieve this goal, there is always the potential for circumstances within or beyond an organization’s control that warrant the review and potential modification of results to provide information and certificates that fairly reflect what was being measured. 

Working seamlessly with Questionmark™ Perception™, the Results Management System enables you to analyze and edit results before they are finalized and shared with stakeholders. Users can import results directly from a Perception repository, view item and test statistics, drop or change questions and pass scores, check the results, and then publish into a locked down format.

Using standard web-browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, RMS users may:

• Review test items and drop, credit or alter scoring
• Review test results and define a pass or cut score
• Get a real-time preview of how proposed changes will impact overall item statistics and test reliability
  
• Publish results into a flat file database for easy access by reporting tools
  
• Maintain changes within an audit trail to aid legal defensibility
  

• Fully integrated view item and test statistics enables a complete view of how your test is performing
• User-friendly interface with color coded-icons to flag questions that demonstrate poor or borderline performance
• Get a real-time preview of how proposed changes will impact overall item statistics and test reliability
• Make the change once and have it globally applied to all participant results.
• Published results saved in a simple, flat format easily imported into third-party reporting tools
• Maintain changes within an audit trail to aid assessment defensibility
  

A few examples of organizations that can benefit from the RMS include:

• Corporate training in which internal certification occurs
• Awarding bodies who deliver medium to high stakes assessments
• Universities and colleges delivering summative exams
• Offices of institutional research at universities and colleges
