Short answer

How do I find the average time spent per question?

Give your AI the total test duration and the quiz results. It will divide that time by the number of questions to find the average. You'll get a clear view of student pacing.

The results you get

Where your data lands

The AI processes the quiz data to produce these specific outputs.

METRICS

Time per question

The AI calculates exactly how long students spent on each item. You get a specific number for every question.

ANALYSIS

Pacing insights

Your agent identifies which questions took too long or were answered too quickly. This helps you spot difficult content.

REPORTS

Summary tables

The AI organizes the timing data into a clean format. You can copy this directly into your grading sheets.

HUMAN

Manual review

The AI cannot change the actual test scores. You must verify the math if you need to adjust grades based on these metrics.

The workflow

What your AI does when the quiz data arrives.

Your agent handles the math so you don't have to manually divide timestamps.

  1. Fetch quiz data

    The AI pulls the raw question data and student responses from your connected source.

  2. Calculate durations

    The agent looks at the start and end times for each question to find the elapsed time.

    score_quiz

  3. Compute averages

    The AI divides the total time by the question count to find the mean duration.

    score_quiz

  4. Format results

    The agent prepares the final timing metrics in a way that's easy for you to read.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change the student's actual score?

    No. The AI only reads the data to perform calculations. It cannot modify the original quiz scores.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete any of my quiz records?

    No. This MCP is read-only for your quiz data. It won't delete or overwrite anything in your source files.

  • 03

    Do I need to provide the total time manually?

    If your quiz data includes start and end timestamps, the AI can calculate the total time itself.

  • 04

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes. You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 05

    What happens if a student skipped a question?

    The AI will account for the time elapsed between questions, but it won't assign a time value to a question that wasn't attempted.
