hey guys,

I'm not sure how you figure out what you schore might be if you performed a certain way on a kaplan practise test, for example.

Like let's say I score 20/30 does that mean I am scoring about a 20 or a lot less?

I ask because I want to know where I stand in terms of other ppl's performance on sample tests versus the real thing.

thanks.

In the Kaplan Blue Book or Barron's book (I forgot which) there is a grading scale that lets you convert the number of questions you got correct into a numerical score out of 30 points.
 
i'm talking about the subject tests.

thanks guys!

20/30 is bad its way below 18. try to get more questions right, for orgo chem test 1 i got 27 out of 30.
 
i haven't actaully done them yet, but I wanted to figure out the wright. so I guess you need to be geting almost perfect to mean a good score...

thanks for your help and good luck.
