Understanding Quiz Grading Methods

Instructors use various methods to grade quizzes, which can affect how you should prepare and approach them:

Raw Score Method

Your grade is determined by the percentage of points earned out of the total possible points.

Example: If you earn 18 out of 20 points, your grade is 90% (A-).
Curved Grading

Grades are adjusted based on the performance of the entire class, often to normalize difficulty.

Example: The highest score becomes 100%, and other scores are adjusted proportionally.
Weighted Questions

Different questions are worth different point values based on difficulty or importance.

Example: A quiz might have 5 one-point questions and 3 five-point questions.
Partial Credit

Points are awarded for partially correct answers, especially on open-ended questions.

Example: You might earn 3/5 points for showing correct work but getting the wrong final answer.

This calculator helps you determine your quiz scores based on points earned and total points possible. Save your calculations to track your progress over time and identify areas for improvement.
