Abstract

Recently developed knowledge assessment tests provide students and educators with information about degrees to which certain skills are mastered, terms and concepts are understood, and to which extend abilities to solve predefined problems efficiently and in a timely fashion without difficulty are demonstrated. In case of partially correct or incorrect answers, students are suggested appropriate theory, examples, and possibilities to take new tests addressing those specific issues. Provided help is primarily related to a problem a student has not solved, a question not being answered correctly, or an answer has been omitted. In this work, we attempt to unveil hidden correlations among correct and wrong answers from students in a test.
