Frequently asked questions
- How does negative marking work here?
- Enter the number of wrong answers and the penalty per wrong answer; that's subtracted from your raw score before the percentage is calculated.
- What pass mark should I use?
- Use whatever your institution or exam board specifies — commonly 40%, 50% or 60%.
- Does it work for points-based exams too?
- Yes, just enter points earned and points possible instead of question counts.
