Item Level Data
For centres, it is a data source that can be used to:
evaluate their own performance against specification norms
assist candidates in improving individual performance.

28. Level 1 / 2 Engineering Lefel 1 / 2 Peirianneg
On the secure website in the Walled Garden area, there are two “buttons” that give access to item level data:
Item Level Summary (Candidates)
Centre Performance in Context

29. Level 1 / 2 Engineering Lefel 1 / 2 Peirianneg
Item Level Summary (Candidates)
Use the drop down menu to select the series

30. Level 1 / 2 Engineering Lefel 1 / 2 Peirianneg
For each unit a candidate has sat, the mark achieved on each item is given.
At any stage the data can be exported as a spread sheet or pdf document

31. Level 1 / 2 Engineering Lefel 1 / 2 Peirianneg
By clicking on a candidate name, an individual report is given
The report shows:
Mark achieved by candidate
Average mark achieved by centre
Average mark achieved for all candidates entered with WJEC

32. Level 1 / 2 Engineering Lefel 1 / 2 Peirianneg
To see how your centre performed, relative to other centres with WJEC, the Centre Performance in Context should be selected:

33. Level 1 / 2 Engineering Lefel 1 / 2 Peirianneg
This gives (for each item) the mean, facility factor and attempt %, for all candidates as well as males and females separately.
The white columns show the centre result, the grey columns all WJEC candidates' results.

34. Centre Performance in Context
Level 1 / 2 Engineering Lefel 1 / 2 Peirianneg
Centre Performance in Context
Mean
If all candidates perform well on a particular item, the mean score will be close to the maximum mark.
Conversely, if candidates as a whole perform poorly on the item there will be a large difference between the mean score and the maximum mark.
A simple comparison of the mean marks will identify those items that contribute significantly to the overall performance of the candidates.

35. Centre Performance in Context
Level 1 / 2 Engineering Lefel 1 / 2 Peirianneg
Centre Performance in Context
For questions with different maximum marks, the facility factor should be used to compare performance.
Facility factor expresses the mean mark as a percentage of the maximum mark
It is a measure of the accessibility of the item.
If the mean mark obtained by candidates is close to the maximum mark, the facility factor will be close to 100 per cent and the item would be considered to be very accessible.

36. Centre Performance in Context
Level 1 / 2 Engineering Lefel 1 / 2 Peirianneg
Centre Performance in Context
Attempt %
When comparing items on this measure it is important to consider the order in which the items appear on the paper.
If the total time available for a paper is limited, there is the possibility of some candidates running out of time and hence a deflated figure on this measure.
Where candidates have a choice of question the statistics evidence candidate preferences / the teaching policy within centres.

The guidance notes which can be downloaded give an explanation of the data analysis provided.

38. Using the Item Level Data
Level 1 / 2 Engineering Lefel 1 / 2 Peirianneg
Using the Item Level Data
Item level data can be used to:
identify the accessible questions for your centre
identify the challenging questions for your centre NB
1. Marks used are raw marks entered by examiners at the time of marking; hence they include no changes due to remarks or script checking.
2. Small numbers of candidates can produce distorted statistics
