This Test Score Distribution template plots every student in the class as a single dot along a score axis, so you can instantly see clusters, gaps, and outliers instead of just an average. The sample data ships with 25 students ranging from a low of 45 up through scores of 70 and beyond, making the spread of performance visible at a glance. It's a ready-made starting point for turning a raw gradebook column into a clear picture of how the whole class actually did.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the sample student scores with my own?
Yes. Click "Open in editor" and edit the data table directly — overwrite the 25 sample scores, add or delete rows for your real class size, and the beeswarm updates live. You can also rename labels, recolor the dots, and then export the result as PNG, SVG, or PDF.
Why use a beeswarm plot for test scores instead of a bar chart?
A beeswarm shows one dot per student, so you see the full distribution — where scores bunch up, where there are gaps, and which results are outliers — rather than a single bar that hides individuals. It's free to use right in your browser with no signup, so you can try it against your own gradebook in seconds.
