- Divide the number of questions you answered correctly by the total number
of questions (30).
- Multiply by 100 to express this score as a percentage.
- This test was curved by 8 percentage points. So,
add 8 to the previous number.
- Round off to the nearest hundredth of a percentage point. For
example, if your calculator reads 66.66666, round that off to 66.67. 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).
