These data allow for reflections on how studentsare performing on each class subject, as well as give the instructor of that subject specifics aboutwhat topics might be causing difficulty. It also allows for identification of questions that mightnot properly assess knowledge of a specific topic.Outcomes from the sophomore exam and FE exam can also be used in conjunction with oneanother. One question posed while observing results from the sophomore exam was whetherthese results projected to the eventual performance of students on the FE
