What is the Ben Egg Method?

The Ben Egg grading method is a grade adjustment technique that moves raw scores toward a target score (typically 100%) based on an "egg factor." This method was developed to provide a more flexible approach to grading that can account for test difficulty and other factors.

How It Works

The Ben Egg formula is: Final Grade = Raw Score + (Egg Factor × (Target Score - Raw Score))

• Raw Score: Your original score on the assignment or test
• Target Score: The ideal score (usually 100%)
• Egg Factor: A value between 0 and 1 that determines how much to adjust toward the target

Egg Factor Examples

• Egg Factor = 0: No adjustment (final grade equals raw score)
• Egg Factor = 0.5: Halfway adjustment toward the target
• Egg Factor = 1: Full adjustment to the target score

When to Use Ben Egg Grading

The Ben Egg method is particularly useful when:

• A test or assignment was particularly difficult
• You want to provide partial credit in a standardized way
• You need a flexible grading system that can be adjusted based on class performance
