If all questions are worth equal value, each is worth 2%. 1 wrong is 98%, 2 wrong is 96%, and so on. 9 wrong would be 82%.\n\nYou can use the formula y=100-2x, where y is the percentage right, and x is the number you got wrong. Or for any test, y=100-(100/z)x, where y is the percentage right, x is the number you got wrong, and z is the number of questions on the test.

They grade it on a curve.  The majority get 3's.  The same ammount get 2's and 4's and the same ammount of students get 1's and 5's.  So it is diffferent every year.  I got a 3.

No, tests are imperfect measure, but there is nothing better. Oral examinations are time consuming and evern more subjective (rhethoric skill, race/gender bias, etc.). Essay writing is even more difficult than multiple-choice, and is not suited for sciences.\n\nWell-composed tests do require knowledge, solving problems, combining several different concepts, etc. I remember multiple-choice questions took 20 minutes each and required understanding of quite a few non-trivial things.\n\n"Cramming" the answers is not the right way to learn of course, which is why good tests must have new questions every year.\n\nTo previous author: PhD is not a test, it is a dissertation, which is more about asking the right question than answering it.\n\nAnd about disadvantaged kids: I bet there are free sample tests, and the library has all those expensive prep books. \nIf they do not want to use them, no problem - supply of uneducated labor keeps my restaurant meals cheap.

NONE OF THEM ARE CORRECT.  THEY ARE ALL WRONG.  IF YOU REPEAT IT 20 TIMES, IT WILL STILL NOT MAKE ANY OF THEM RIGHT.  IS THAT CLEAR?

Kweeks is sorta right. Just get 2 B's and an A, not all B's. Or just get all A's and dont worry bout it. I did a hypothetical problem, u had an \n\nA=4\nB=3\n5 C's=10\nTotal=17\nTotal of classes=7\n17 divided by 7=2.42\nGPA=2.42\n\nyer takin 3 other classes which would come to a total of 10 classes\n\nIf u got 2 B's=6\nand an A=4\nThats a total of=10\n\n10+17 (yer previous classes)=27\n27 divided by 10=2.7\n\nhope that answers yer question. let me know if my hypothetical problem was a good guess on what u really have

for questions 1.  answer is 6. reason. it's a repeat.\n\nfor questions 2.  answer is 50. reason. it's a random number. \n\nHell. i dont know. just made guesses for the hell of it. i think this means i get 10 points for trying.

Usually, those exams are full of what some might call "trick questions." They want you to read very carefully and decide what the issue is being presented. With each question, think "What principle do they want to prove that I know by asking this question?" \n\nYou will have success if you take all the practice tests you can, and find out the reasons for the answers marked incorrectly. You probably already know the material, but need some specific knowledge on how the exam is delivered.

Is this trivia, or are you cheating on a test?\n\n+12\n-12\n+5\n-5\n\n\nThat is, if I recall correctly (and I usually do.)

You must  write your question more understandable.\n\nFor the test results, you can calculate the average, variance, standard deviation, min and max grades. You can also find the frequency of the marks.
