[PT2021] Test Results

[Green, Michelle D]

Great job on the test.
I am kind of frustrated at the results. I'll be honest.
I have used the same test with 20% variation for the last 5 years.
I have lots of metrics on this test and the test questions.

This year though, I taught it completely different. This is the first time I've taught this material without the power points, with hand writing, with review/recall and predication.
I was SUPER excited to see the difference in test scores so I could feel confident that it makes a difference.
But- with the testing circumstances being so "loose" if I brag about your amazing scores- I can not prove it was you or the teaching strategies. Bummer!
These are the score ranges and averages for the last few years
2017  64% - avg. 85 - 94%

2018  70% - avg. 85 - 97

2019  65% - avg 84 - 100

2020  80% - 93% - 100%!!!!

Nicely done!


A few notes:


  1.  The question on spasticity said "what would you recommend... not do.  Pharamacological is the only choice for SEVERE spasticity (gentle ROM and positioning wouldn't do a thing for it) - this question was thrown out
  2.  Variable practice is the same task, varying elements (different heights for sit- stand) versus random is different tasks randomly performed, (blocked is the same task over and over the exact same way until a predetermined level of competence is achieved)

I always put in some "obscure" questions that really dig into the reading or higher level of integration and if they perform poorly, I use them as BONUS questions.  There were a few of those on this test.


When I release the test scores, I do so in Examsoft.  The report looks like this:
Your Score and the Avg. Score at the top.
Then each question is color coded for "Green" correct, "red" incorrect.
You can also see if their was any adjustment  (bonus- for example)
*I label all my questions according to the week/topic.  This way you can tell if there was one area that you did not do as well on.

So be sure to look for this in examsoft or the link in your email. Let me know if there are questions.
Great job, team!
