Test Scores
The test scores are graded in a percentage grading system. in a percentage system, each assignment is subjected to a 100 point scale. The overall grade of a class is then weighted so that the final grade represents a stated proportion of different work types. Test scores are generally based on standard-based grading. Under different school districts, the states create examinations where learners are compared to a specific standard of what educators, employers, parents, and other stakeholders have laid down as to what learners should know and do. As such, learners are graded as exceeding, meeting, or falling below the required standard. 90 percent above is excellent, 80 to 90 percent is denoted as very good while 70-80 percent is considered good. However, below 60 percent, it is somewhat low, although the learner has passed. 50 percent and below shows that the student has passed, but it’s below the required standard. Between 50 to 70 percent, the test should be supplemented by other measures to determine the grades.
