How Your Final Exam Score Will Be Determined

[Pages:1]How Your Final Exam Score Will Be Determined

The table below shows how raw scores on the ACS exam will be converted to scaled final exam scores. The ACS standardized exam has 70 questions, two of which are on material we did not cover over the course of the semester (resulting in a slight adjustment from the national norms).

In the event you are unfamiliar with how percentiles work, an 84th percentile means that you scored higher than 84% of the students on the national norms and a 25th percentile means that you scored higher than 25% of the students taking the same exam on the national norms. Students scoring in the 80th to 100th percentile will be assigned an "A" score on the final, the 60th to 79th percentile will be assigned a "B", the 40th to 59th percentile will be assigned a "C", the 20th to 39th percentile will be assigned a "D", and the 0th to 19th percentile will be assigned an "F".
