Test Scoring

Quizzes and midterm exams are processed within 48 hours. Final exams are guaranteed to be processed within 24 hours, including item analysis and statistics. After exams are scored, random checks are done to help ensure accuracy.

Exams and quizzes are commonly scored in one of two standard ways: a raw score with one point for each question, or a score based on 100%. In either case:

  • Results can be sorted by name, id, section, score, or exam version.
  • Item analysis can be done for P-diff, P-biserial, and the percentage of people choosing each answer (with the correct answer for each question indicated).
  • Statistics can be provided, including exam means, standard deviation, test reliability, and histogram.

Special scoring formulas can also be created, e.g., for subtests or tests with multiple correct answers. Results are available via e-mail or on disk. To request test scoring services, please call Lo-Su King at Information Technology, (617) 353-2780.
