Formula for the computation of the midterm exam grade:
Raw Score
_________________ X Base Score + (100 – Base Score) = Percentage
Total Number of points
Example: Raw score = 36 pts
21/50 = 0.72 X 40 = 28.8 + 60 = 88.8%

_________________ X Base Score + (100 – Base Score) = Percentage
Total Number of points
- Raw Score - the score you got, your actual score.
- Total no. of points - total number of items in the exam = 50 pts.
- Base score - the passing percentage = 40%. You should get a score 40% of the total number of items just to get a passing grade.
