Need Help: Scoring Biology

<p>I used my PR book to take my first biology exam, and I got 81 correct and 19 wrong, giving me a raw score of 76.</p>

<p>However, my PR book doesn't say what the scaled score is. I get that it changes from test month to test month, but can anyone provide me with a general chart that would give me an idea as to where a 76 raw score is at?</p>

<p>I saw one on sparknotes's website, but the highest raw score is 80, so I'm not sure how that works because the biology exam is out of 100.</p>

<p>It's out of 80, not 100. There are 60 core questions, and 2 sets of 20 questions each in E (ecological) and M (molecular). You answer all 60 core questions and one of the two sets of 20 questions for a total of 80 questions. That's why the highest raw score is 80.</p>

<p>Conversion charts from raw to scaled scores vary, but I think the Sparknotes chart can give you a general indication of your score.</p>
