<p>“By that token, then a first graders who scores a 100% on his addition test shows more mastery than a high school senior who misses a couple questions on the AP calculus BC test and gets a 5.”</p>
<p>That is a stupidly exaggerated analogy.</p>
<p>“On the contrary, each question is worth 10 points on the Math I exam.
There are 50 questions on the Math I exam… 10 x 50 = 500, so a perfect score on the Math I is 500? Hrmm… some mastery”</p>
<p>Assuming a full score of 800, each omitted answer deducts ten points from that score.</p>
