Test Scoring

Proposal A

This complex scoring system allows for sections to be tailored so that less important sections have less impact on the score without upsetting the balance of points.

  • Each section is scored seperately.
  • Each question will be worth some number of points.
  • Each section would have a set number of points that could count towards the total.
    • A hypothetical section may contain 20 points worth of questions only 15 would be counted.
    • This would allow for the user to get a certain number of questions wrong in a section without it effecting the score.
  • The section scores would be totaled and then a pass/fail would be determined based on some set number of points that could be missed.
    • The total section usable points may add up to something like 200 but the user would only need something like 190 to pass.
