• 2007 TAKS Item Analysis Reports

Note:  Item Analysis Reports are available from your district’s data department, the Texas Education Agency, or your TAKS vendor.  These reports are not automatically sent to the district with the annual TAKS results.  If your district data department does not have these reports, you may need to place a special order in order to receive them.

These reports show how students performed on the TAKS test by question number and identify the percentage of students who chose each answer. Use the following link to view the statewide reports.  The reports you need for the workshops will be similar to these but will contain district/campus data rather than the statewide data.  Bring the data for the district if you work in the district office; bring campus-level results if you work on a campus.
