When creating the anwer key for a Quiz or test it would be great to include information that ties a question to a specific benchmark/standard. That way if I give a quiz or test that covers multiple skills I can then run a report to see exactly what my kids know or don't know. If a kid gets 60% on a test, that only tells me so much. Its much more valuable to know that he/she got 90% of the Solving Proportion questions correct, 20% of the Solving Literal Equations questions, and 70% of the Generating Equations questions.
It's even more valuable for a kid to know that "Yeah you got a D on the test, but you know 90% of Proportions! You kind of get the generating equations part so lets practice re-reading problems and underlining important information. And if we just focus really hard on that last benchamrk we can bring your grade up a lot. And even if you can only get 50% of the literal equation questions after studying that at least brings your test grades up to a C."
