A clearer explanation of exam scoring

Partial credit, a floor at zero, and worked examples. Try the mini tool below, then read the full scoring page.

Before mid-July, many questions about scoring were the same: does an unmarked false statement reduce your score, can a task go below zero, and why an almost-correct cluster scored the way it did. On 18 July we expanded the scoring page with clearer rules and worked examples.

Interactive example

Partial credit with a floor at zero

Five statements under one question. Each label shows whether the statement is true or false in the key. Tap to mark an answer. Wrong marks reduce the score; blanks do not.

Task score

0 / 5

If you mark false statements, points are subtracted. The task score cannot go below zero.

A small BBE-style example. Correct marks on true statements add points. Marks on false statements subtract points. Blanks do neither. The score cannot go below zero.

Read the full scoring page once while you are calm. Then take a practice exam and compare your marking habits with the rules. The page will not take the exam for you, but it should remove unnecessary confusion about how points are calculated.

Partial credit in motion: correct marks raise the score, over-marking on false statements pulls it down, floor at zero.
