Scores and what to do

by Cheney825

Dec 10, 2016

Got scores C1, 3.0, 2.875, 2.5, 3.294, Avg 2.917; C2, 3.0; C3, 2.125. Using score calculator means I need 3.125 on C4 to have 2.75. Should I redo C3??? Help!

Elemteach Can you explain how you are calculating that? I took each score from C1 and multiplied it by the &37;weight. Did the same with C2. Do you add all those together to get to 2.75? If so, I just figured how many more points I needed to get ton2.75 and played around with scores and weights for C3&4. I had a very dismal C2 score so I figure that ...See More

Patti Biophysteach,

You have been so helpful. I am wondering if you could check my scores. I am considering retaking a test this year. I write better than I test.

E1 2.125 E2 2. E3 1. CS 2.975 C2 3 C3 3

They seem so low and I have heard negative things already.

Thanks, Patti

Biophysteach For whatever reason, the NB "score calculator" does not actually calculate your weighted average. Several have asked how to calculate this so here it is worked out. I am going for my cert in Bio, but I also teach Physics so numbers are my strong suit :)

Several have asked how to calculate this so here it is worked out. I am going for my cert in Bio, but I also teach Physics so numbers are my strong suit :)

Disclaimer: This is according to the weights in the NB scoring guide. How they actually tally the final score we don't know yet.

Component 1 SRI Score x.20 Component 1 Exercises Avg x.20 (add your three scores and divide by 3 to the Exercises Avg) Component 2 Score x.15 Component 3 Score x.30

Add all four results to get your "banked" current total without Component 4. To see what you need on Component 4 to get 2.75:

2.75 minus your current total from above Take that number and divide by .15

Example with my scores:

1 SRI: 3.506 x .20 = .7012 1 Exercises: (3.0, 2.75, 4.0 average to 3.35) 3.25 x .20 = .65 2: 3.0 x .15 = .45 3: 3.0 x .30 = 0.9 Total w/o Comp 4 = .7012+.65+.45+.9 = 2.7012

2.75 - 2.7012 = .0488 .0488/.15 = 0.325 needed on Component 4 to get 2.75
