Test results problem

Published

Hi all,

I received my test scores from two different classes this week. I had scoring issues on both test in both classes. In both our classes we go over the results with the professors, so of course, we know how many incorrect we had on the test. On both occasions, I was off by at least 3 X's the amount that I had counted (example: I counted three wrong on the review, and when I received my official grade, it read 9 wrong)!

What could be the problem?

Is it a Scantron test? Maybe the machine was picking up erasure marks or something. Maybe the instructor had some answers marked wrong on the key? I have no idea what the problem is - if I were you I'd ask for an appointment to review my test.

Have other students noticed the same thing about their scores on this particular test?

I would respectfully and calmly explain the discrepancy to your instructor and request a manual grade of your test.
