lets say theres 10 points on this test i'm doing thats 3 for 2 questions 2 for 1 question and 2 1's for 2 questions

this test is worth 22% of my grade but its actually 25%, my current grade in math is a 90 name every possible bad grade and good grade that would affect me grade in math

9 answers

To evaluate how your test score could affect your overall math grade, we first need to calculate your potential scores on the test based on the information provided. The test is worth 10 points, broken down as follows:

  • 2 questions worth 3 points each (total 6 points)
  • 1 question worth 2 points (total 2 points)
  • 2 questions worth 1 point each (total 2 points)

Total possible points = 6 + 2 + 2 = 10 points.

The test is worth 25% of your overall grade (even though you indicated 22% initially). This means that the remaining components of your grade (which contribute 75%) currently have you at a 90 average.

Current Grade Calculations

  1. Current Contribution to Grade:

    • Current grade (90) contributes 75%: \[ 90 \times 0.75 = 67.5 \]
  2. Overall Grade Contribution:

    • Let \( x \) be the score on the test.
    • The test contributes 25% to the overall grade: \[ x \times 0.25 \]
  3. Total Grade Calculation: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (x \times 0.25) \]

Possible Test Scores

You could score between 0 and 10 points on the test. Let's analyze what your overall grade would be for various test scores:

  1. Score of 10: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (10 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 2.5 = 70 \]

  2. Score of 9: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (9 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 2.25 = 69.75 \]

  3. Score of 8: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (8 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 2 = 69.5 \]

  4. Score of 7: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (7 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 1.75 = 69.25 \]

  5. Score of 6: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (6 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 1.5 = 69 \]

  6. Score of 5: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (5 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 1.25 = 68.75 \]

  7. Score of 4: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (4 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 1 = 68.5 \]

  8. Score of 3: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (3 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 0.75 = 68.25 \]

  9. Score of 2: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (2 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 0.5 = 68 \]

  10. Score of 1: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (1 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 0.25 = 67.75 \]

  11. Score of 0: \[ \text{Total Grade} = 67.5 + (0 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 0 = 67.5 \]

Summary of Possible Grades

Here are the scores you could achieve based on your test performance:

  • Score of 10: 70.00 (lowest good grade)
  • Score of 9: 69.75
  • Score of 8: 69.50
  • Score of 7: 69.25
  • Score of 6: 69.00
  • Score of 5: 68.75
  • Score of 4: 68.50
  • Score of 3: 68.25
  • Score of 2: 68.00
  • Score of 1: 67.75
  • Score of 0: 67.50

Good Grades

  • Any score from 10 to 8 (90% and above):
    • These grades would keep your overall grade in math at or very close to an A.

Bad Grades

  • Any score from 7 to 0:
    • These grades would drop your overall math grade below 70 for those scoring down to a C or D, depending on your school’s grading scale.

If you have a specific grading scale for what constitutes a "good" or "bad" grade, you can align the above conclusions to those specific cutoffs.

so how many questions must I miss to keep it in the good grade area

To determine how many questions you can miss while still maintaining a "good" grade (typically considered as a grade of 70 or higher), let's outline your scoring based on the points you can earn on each type of question:

Test Breakdown

  1. 2 questions worth 3 points each (total of 6 points)
  2. 1 question worth 2 points (total of 2 points)
  3. 2 questions worth 1 point each (total of 2 points)

Total possible points = 10 points.

Grade Threshold

To keep your overall grade at or above 70, you need to score at least:

\[ 67.5 + (x \times 0.25) \geq 70 \]

Solving for \( x \): \[ x \times 0.25 \geq 2.5 \]

\[ x \geq 10 \]

Minimum Score Required

This means you have to score at least 8 points on the test, because if we plug 8 into the previous equation:

\[ 67.5 + (8 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 2 = 69.5 \] which is less than 70.

If you score 9 points:

\[ 67.5 + (9 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 2.25 = 69.75 \] which is still less than 70.

Finally, if you score a 10:

\[ 67.5 + (10 \times 0.25) = 67.5 + 2.5 = 70 \] This just gets you to 70, which is the lower limit for a good grade.

Questions to Score Points Breakdown

Let’s determine how many questions you can afford to miss to keep a score of at least 8 points:

  1. Score of 10 (0 missed): 10 points from 10 questions → 100%
  2. Score of 9 (1 missed): 9 points → Missing any one question nets 1 point lost.
  3. Score of 8 (2 missed): 8 points → Missing two questions, for example, the 3-point question and one of the 1-point questions.

Beyond this point:

  • Score of 7 (3 missed): 7 points
  • Score of 6 (4 missed): 6 points
  • Score of 5 (5 missed): 5 points

Conclusion

To maintain a "good grade" of 70 or higher, you must not score below 8 points. Therefore:

  • You can miss a maximum of 2 questions to still attain at least 8 points, keeping you in the good grade area.

To maintain a score of 9 points, you can afford to miss 1 question. Missing no questions (score of 10) guarantees you a grade of 70 overall.

how manymultiple question part choices can I miss to keep it in the good grade level

Let's analyze how many questions you can miss from each section of the test while still maintaining a "good grade" (an overall grade of 70 or higher in this context).

Test Structure Recap

  1. 2 questions worth 3 points each (total of 6 points)
  2. 1 question worth 2 points (total of 2 points)
  3. 2 questions worth 1 point each (total of 2 points)

Total possible points = 10 points.

Grade Threshold

As established before, to keep your overall grade at or above 70, you need to score at least 8 points on the test.

Points Needed and Misses Allowed:

  • To score 10 points: No questions missed (100%).
  • To score 9 points: Miss 1 question.
  • To score 8 points: Miss 2 questions.

Analyzing Missed Questions

Now, let's determine how many questions (including multiple-choice part choices) you can miss from each section to still score at least 8 points:

  1. Scenario: Missing 0 Questions

    • Score: 10 points
    • Good grade: Yes
  2. Scenario: Missing 1 Question

    • Score: 9 points (miss any of the 10 questions)
    • Good grade: Yes
  3. Scenario: Missing 2 Questions

    • Score: 8 points: You could miss:
      • 1 of the 3-point questions (score 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 8)
      • 1 of the 1-point questions and 1 of the 3-point questions (score 3 + 2 + 1 = 8)
      • Both 1-point questions (score 3 + 3 + 2 = 8)

Breakdown of Missed Questions for Scoring 8 Points:

  • From Two 3-point Questions:

    • Miss 1 of these → Score will be: 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 8 points.
  • From One 2-point Question:

    • Miss this question and one more from a 3-point question or a 1-point question to ensure that the total is still exactly 8 points.
  • From the Two 1-point Questions:

    • Both can be missed, but you have to score both 3-point questions (3 + 3 + 2 = 8 points).

Limit on Missed Questions

  • You cannot miss more than 2 questions if you want to score at least 8 points.
  • Maximum missed questions you can allow: You can choose to miss up to 2 questions in total (regardless of the type).

Summary

To maintain a good grade (70 or higher) overall:

  • You can miss a total of 2 questions, which can be any combination of the 3-point, the 2-point, or the 1-point questions.

That means any combination of missed questions that results in scoring 8 points or more will keep you in the "good grade" area.

I will now tell you the questions
3 pointer, multiple choice with 3 drag boxes
1 pointer with a basic select choice
another 1 pointer with a basic select choice
2 pointer with 2 drag boxes
3 pointer with 3 drag boxes
how many can I miss to keep my grade within an a or b

To determine how many questions you can miss on this specific test, maintaining a score of at least 8 points (to keep your overall grade within the A or B range), let's break down the specific questions you provided:

Breakdown of Questions

  1. 3 points: Multiple choice with 3 drag boxes
  2. 1 point: Basic select choice
  3. 1 point: Basic select choice
  4. 2 points: Two drag boxes
  5. 3 points: Multiple choice with 3 drag boxes

Total Points

Total possible points = 10

Points Needed to Maintain A or B

To keep your overall grade within an A or B, you need to score at least 8 points.

Analyzing Each Question for Missed Opportunities

  • 3-point questions:

    • You have 3 questions worth 3 points (two of which are multiple-choice with drag boxes).
  • 1-point questions:

    • You have 2 questions worth 1 point each.
  • 2-point question:

    • You have 1 question worth 2 points with 2 drag boxes.

Missing Questions Scenarios

To achieve a score of at least 8 points, you'll assess the maximum number of questions you can miss:

  1. Score of 10 Points:

    • No questions missed (100%).
  2. Score of 9 Points:

    • Miss 1 question.
    • You can afford to miss:
      • 1 of the 3-point questions or
      • 1 of the 1-point questions or
      • 1 of the 2-point questions.
  3. Score of 8 Points:

    • Miss 2 questions. Here are some combinations:
      • Miss 1 three-point question and 1 of the 1-point questions (3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 8).
      • Miss both 1-point questions and 1 of the 3-point questions (3 + 3 + 2 = 8).
      • **Miss **1 of the 3-point questions and the 2-point question (3 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 8).
      • Miss both 3-point questions (as long as you get the 2-point question correct) (2 + 1 + 1 = 4 points, assuming you'd also need to get the additional 4 points from elsewhere).
      • Miss both 3-pointer questions and get the 2-pointer correct (2 points is a bit tricky; you need to account for how many additional questions need answering).

Summary of Missed Questions

To keep your overall grade above 70 and within the A or B range:

  • **You can miss a maximum of 2 questions.

Conclusion

  • If you miss 2 questions, you must ensure that the remaining correct answers give you a total of at least 8 points.
  • This flexibility allows some level of mistake while still allowing you to keep your overall grade in a good range, assuming the correct combination of missed questions for point allowances.
Right but whats happens if I get 2 or 1 parts of the multiple choice wrong, what then?

Let’s analyze what happens if you get 1 or 2 parts of the multiple-choice questions wrong, specifically in relation to how they affect your overall score, particularly under the structure of your test.

Test Structure Recap

You have the following questions:

  1. 3 points: Multiple choice with 3 drag boxes (let’s denote this as Q1).
  2. 1 point: Basic select choice (denote this as Q2).
  3. 1 point: Basic select choice (denote this as Q3).
  4. 2 points: Two drag boxes (denote this as Q4).
  5. 3 points: Multiple choice with 3 drag boxes (denote this as Q5).

Performance on the 3-Point Multiple Choice Questions

Assuming each drag box qualifies for a point in the respective questions, missing parts would affect your overall score.

1. Scoring Details for Multiple Choice Questions:

  • Each of Q1 and Q5 is worth 3 points.
  • If you get 1 part of a 3-part multiple-choice question wrong, you lose 1 point from that question, resulting in receiving 2 points instead of 3.
  • If you get 2 parts wrong from a 3-part multiple-choice question, you would receive 1 point.

Scenarios of Point Loss

Let's analyze the effects of getting parts of these multiple-choice questions wrong on your overall score:

Case 1: Getting 1 Part Wrong

  • For example: If you answered Q1 correctly for 2 out of 3 drag boxes:
    • Points from Q1: 2 points.

Thus, the potential points breakdown would be:

  • Q1: 2 points
  • Q2: 1 point (if correct)
  • Q3: 1 point (if correct)
  • Q4: 2 points (if correct)
  • Q5: 3 points (if correct)

Total:

  • Maximum score = 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 9 points

Case 2: Getting 2 Parts Wrong

  • For example: If you answered Q1 correctly for 1 out of 3 drag boxes:
    • Points from Q1: 1 point.

So the potential points breakdown would be:

  • Q1: 1 point
  • Q2: 1 point (if correct)
  • Q3: 1 point (if correct)
  • Q4: 2 points (if correct)
  • Q5: 3 points (if correct)

Total:

  • Maximum score = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 8 points

Overall Impact on Grade

  1. **If you get 1 part wrong from either Q1 or Q5:

    • Your maximum score could still potentially be 9 points, allowing you to keep your overall grade in the A or B range (above 70).
  2. **If you get 2 parts wrong from Q1 or Q5:

    • Your total score could be 8 points max, which still keeps you at the threshold required to maintain a good grade.

Summary

  • You can afford to make mistakes on parts of the multiple-choice questions.

  • 1 part wrong could lead to a potential score of 9, whereas getting 2 parts wrong (in total across your multiple-choice questions) allows you to score down to 8 points.

  • Thus, as long as you keep your overall score at 8 points or higher, you remain within the range of maintaining an A or B in the class. If you get more than 2 parts from your multiple choice questions wrong, you risk falling below the 8-point threshold, potentially lowering your overall grade.

Final Recommendation

  • Aim to answer correctly on the 1-point and 2-point questions to mitigate the risk of scoring lower on the multiple-choice sections.
