I Made A 60 On My Access Objective Test.

How much will my 99% class grade be affected by a 60% test grade?

More context is needed, because most grades are weighted by how much each item is worth in calculating your grade (homework is worth 20%, tests 50%, participation 20%, 10% projects… etc)For example, if that one test grade is worth 50% of your entire mark, then the following math is used:60% (your grade on that test) * .50 (worth 50% of your entire mark)+99% (your previous mark) * .50 (worth 50% of your entire mark)=79.5 %Though, I am assuming you are not getting 99% in a math class because otherwise you would know this.My advice is to not get too caught up with those numbers. How did you get 99% in a class and get 60% later on a test? Best just to keep trying your best.I am sure you can explain to your teacher if you genuinely had a brain fart on that 60%. Otherwise, I suggest you keep striving.Good Luck.

If I mark all answers 'C' in an MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions) exam, what is the probability of passing the exam?

This question touches on the over-all strategy of “testmanship,” which applies a generic answer strategy in addition to whatever knowledge of the subject matter you actually have.This assumes the MCQ you face is relevant to some course of study you are involved with, or some area of knowledge with which you have a working familiarity -but no special expertise.Here’s the over-all approach:Before you start answering, scan the whole test to get an indication of the questioning strategy. Do not assume you must answer the questions in order -unless that’s a test condition.Go ahead and answer the questions where you have a good degree of confidence that you know the answer. Those are your “gimmies.” Let us say that this gives you 25% of the test.Now scan the questions for choices which you know or strongly suspect to be wrong. The more questions with wrong answers, the better, because your actual odds of a correct answer will be between the “possible” answers. If you’ve narrowed it down to two, then your odds on a sheer guess or coin flip are 50–50. Let us suppose that such questions account for half of the test. If so, you pick up another 25% or thereabouts. But don’t guess randomly -make an effort to determine which choice is more probably correct. That give you a slight edge.That leaves 25% of the test which have few or no known wrong answers. In a 4 choice test, your odds on a guess are 25%. Again, use what you DO know to get an edge.Watch out for answers such as “neither A nor D” or “Both C and B.” Hit the BOTH answers first, for any question where you have ruled out at least one answer.Be aware that the wording of some questions may give you a strong clue as to the answer to a subsequent question.Ignore suspicious patterns to answers, such as “all the answers are “B.”In general, apply the above instructions in the order they are given. The idea is to grab the low-hanging fruit first, then work your way up the “tree,” to more difficult material.This website: General knowledge quizzes has many MCQ’s in various areas where you may practice. In a general knowledge test I just took, I scored 9 out of 10 correct, using the strategies above. There were 2 questions which included known wrong answers, improving my odds on a “guess.” There were 2 on which I was completely clueless.Bottom line: some knowledge of subject matter is essential, but knowing how to take the test can be critical.Hope that helps.

I just got 60% on a math test :(?

I just got 60% on a math test that everyone else aced. It isnt a very big test in the big picture, but getting a terrible grade right off the bat in the year is pretty bad. It wasnt even a difficult test, and being a grade 8 in a grade 9 math class, I am really disapointed in myself. Can I improve my grade again for the term mark?

Are IQ tests a waste of time? Is IQ a valid way to measure someone’s intelligence?

Lots of things can affect IQ tests; pain, lack of food, depression, etc. Most neurologists believe that an IQ score can vary up to 50+ points under certain circumstances. For example, if Jane is stressed from work, tired and hasn’t eaten in a while, her IQ can literally drop 50 or more points, thus she scores an IQ of 100 (average). Jimmy lives a stress free life, got plenty of sleep and had a very nutritious breakfast and thus scores 150 (Genius level starts at 140). How reliable are these scores?
