Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r

Post-exam survey administered through SurveyMonkey after the DOT final exam. Close to 70% voted the question difficulty "reasonable", and 96.1% found difficulty acceptable (choices 2-4); around 59% said the format was similar to other online exams they had taken.
"76.9% of students (Fig. 3a) rated the duration for answering questions to be 3 or above out of a 5 point scale ranging from Very Insufficient (1) to Very Sufficient (5), and 80.8% students (Fig. 3b) rated the convenience of using the platform's interface to be 3 or above"

- Post-exam analyses found no evidence of significant collusion: paired tests of identical incorrect answers were below the 0.05 significance threshold at every false discovery rate, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test on first-versus-last-20-question correctness yielded p = 0.3133. — related
