Answer Key for Written Test

Instructions for grading the test:

Since the test is long, you may wish to divide it in half and give it on two separate days.
a) If a response is completely wrong, circle the number of that response.
b) If a response is spelled incorrectly or if the main idea is there but there is a small mistake, write -1.
c) At the bottom of each page, add up the total points to be subtracted. Each circle is worth 10 points.
For example, if there are nine circles and six -1’s, write -96 at the bottom of that page.
d) Add up all the points to be subtracted. Subtract this amount from the total possible points (3210).
e) Divide the total points received by the total possible points. This is the percentage.

Example: 3210 - 126 = 3084 3084 = 96% is the score

3210
