HOW TO SCORE

PRACTICE TEST 1
When you take the real exam, the proctors will collect your test booklet and bubble sheet and send
your bubble sheet to a processing center where a computer looks at the pattern of filled-in ovals on your
bubble sheet and gives you a score. We couldn’t include even a small computer with this book, so we are
providing this more primitive way of scoring your exam.

Determining Your Score

STEP 1 Using the answer key, determine how many ques-
tions you got right and how many you got wrong
on the test. Remember: Questions that you do not
answer don’t count as either right answers or wrong
answers.

STEP 2 List the number of right answers here. (A)

STEP 3 List the number of wrong answers here. Now divide (B) ÷ 4 = (C)
that number by 4. (Use a calculator if you’re feeling
particularly lazy.) (A) – (C) =

STEP 4 Subtract the number of wrong answers divided by 4

from the number of correct answers. Round this score
to the nearest whole number. This is your raw score.

STEP 5 To determine your real score, take the number from
Step 4 and look it up in the left column of the Score
Conversion Table on the next page; the correspond-
ing score on the right is your score on the exam.
