What is a question bank assignment?
A question bank assignment consists of questions taken from an question bank. You can create this assignment either manually or automatically. If you choose the automatic option, you will use a test blueprint. A test blueprint is a set of questions selected on the basis of predefined domains and learning objectives. The advantage of an question bank assignment is that it can easily be shared with colleagues.

Meaning statistics
The P-value indicates how difficult the task was: a high P-value means the question was easy, a low P-value means the question was difficult. The Rit-value shows how well the task performs in distinguishing between students with high and low total scores: a low Rit-value means the question makes little difference. The Rir value is similar to the Rit value, but gives a more accurate result because the score of the task itself is not included.

Question bank assignments log
A question bank exercise log provides insight into the changes that have been made to an exercise, such as when an exercise has been deleted or restored, or when a user has been added or removed. Want to know more? See this ANS manual on how to access the question bank log.
