Competencies Comparison
in Online Assessments

In online assessments, candidate competencies, as well as groups of candidates, can be easily analyzed using the radar chart, a graphical representation of desired variables. This tool is particularly significant in the HR industry, as it enables HR professionals and candidates to identify areas of strong proficiency as well as those that require improvement.

A radar chart, also known as a spider chart or web chart, is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart. It consists of a series of axes radiating from a central point, each representing one variable. The data points are plotted on these axes and connected to form a polygon, providing a clear visual representation of performance across multiple metrics.

The Power of Radar Charts in
Online Exam Analytics

Radar charts offer a unique advantage in visualizing complex data sets, making them an ideal choice for enhancing the analytics capabilities of YouTestMe. Here’s how radar charts can be leveraged within the platform:

Radar charts are excellent for comparing multiple students or groups. By overlaying multiple polygons on the same chart, administrators can easily compare the performance of different students, classes, or even schools. This can be particularly useful for identifying patterns and trends, such as which groups may need additional support or which teaching methods are yielding the best results.

Skill and Competency Assessment

Beyond academic subjects, radar charts can be used to assess a wide range of skills and competencies. For instance, in professional certification exams, different competencies such as problem-solving, analytical thinking, and technical skills can be evaluated. This feature provide a clear visual of how well candidates perform in each competency, aiding in targeted skill development.

Preview of Radar Chart in Candidate’s Personal Report

Once candidates finish the exam, they will be able to access the radar chart by opening the “Charts” tab in their personal reports.

Tracking Progress Over Time

This preview can motivate candidates by clearly showing their progress and can also help them adjust their strategies based on the data. Tracking progress over time becomes straightforward.
