Hey Group,
I always wondered when taking my tests what they meant when they
said that there would be a 300/1000 scale. Then somebody on the list
explained that you start out with 300 points automatically. This is nice. I
just tried to figure out how many could be gotten wrong on the BSCN and came
up with something that I don't believe. Follow me on this one...
61 questions, 690/1000 to pass. You start out with 300 so there is basically
700 points for a perfect score with 61 questions. Now, 700 points divided by
61 questions breaks out to something like 11.48 points per question. Then I
take 1000 - 690 and get 310 points. This is how many you can miss and still
pass. Finally, I divide that 310 points you can miss, by the number of points
per question (310/11.48) and get this as the number of questions you can miss
and still pass...27.003 (27 basically).
I may be seeing it wrong in the area where I divide the 700/61 to get the
number of points per question. It may be that even though you get 300, you
still divide 1000/61, which would give you 16.39 points per question which in
the end would allow you to miss 18.9 (18 basically) questions. This sounds
alot more like it.
This confuses me. If my initial calculation is the correct one, what this
shows me is that on a test that has only 61 questions, somebody can get 27
(almost half) of them wrong and still pass the test. Does this just sound too
easy to anybody else? Am I not understanding that 300/1000 scale thing, or is
this test just soooooo damn easy? Don't get me wrong, I never go for the bare
minimum. In fact, I don't believe anything under 800 is satisfactory (B
basically), I just like to know all factors before a test. Thanks for
responses guys/ladies...
