Hey guys, i really dont understand how the ada does their grading regarding their total science scores.i know they dont average out your 3 science scores but rather they base it on the amount of questions that you got right in total. I just saw someone here with Bio:22, G chem: 22 Orgo:23 and he recieved a score of 23 for TS. I got BIO:20 G chem: 23 Orgo: 26 and i got a 22 in TS while my avergae came out higher than his. I don't know if anybody was questioning it as well?

TS score is based on the number of questions you get correct out of 100.

The scale is different for each exam I assume since each exam is different. Theres a sample scoring table on the ADA's website you can use to get an idea.

Well, it goes by how many you got wrong.
So lets say you get 29 Bio, 27 chem, 27 ochem. But the 27s in the chems is a 100% perfect score. In this case you get a 30 TS.
But if the 27s are 1 wrong on each then you get a 28TS.

I hope I explained it decently.
