- Divide your total number of points earned by the total number of points possible
(1,980), and multiply by 100 to express your raw score as a percentage.
- This test was curved by 2 percentage points. So, add 2 to the previous
number.
- Then round off to the nearest hundredth of a percentage point. For
example, if your calculator reads 69.333333, round that off to 69.33. The resulting grade should match the grade recorded for you in the
online gradebook on Blackboard. If it does not, please come see me (and, of
course, bring your test with you). Also, if you believe some other answer than
the one listed above should be counted as correct, please come see me. For
either of these purposes, please see me, or contact me to make an
appointment with me, by the end of Tuesday, October 24.
