Answer Distribution

The Answer Distribution tool shows how your whole class answered each question on a quiz. For every answer choice, you can see the number and percentage of students who selected it. This makes it easy to spot common misconceptions and plan a focused review.

Use the Section and Assignment dropdowns to choose which class and quiz to view. The summary cards at the top show the number of questions, how many students took the quiz, and the class’s average score.
