The ESR updates include three new charts on the Verbal and Quantitative sections that detail test taker performance. These charts are designed to help the test taker understand the proportion of questions answered correctly and incorrectly. The Percent Correct chart, along with the Average Difficulty chart, shows whether a test taker’s performance was impacted by the difficulty of the questions presented. This information illustrates how well the test taker performed on more difficult questions, and whether or not they earned the opportunity to see highly difficult questions at any point during the exam.

In addition,  the Time Management chart combined with  the Percent Correct chart shows whether a test taker’s performance was affected by their time management – how well they managed their time during the test administration. This chart displays the average length of time the test taker took to answer questions. Understanding how much time was spent on questions aids test takers in determining whether they adhered to their time management plan.
