Mastery and weight provide the course creator with a method to control the value of a test.
Mastery is a number you give the test to identify how many correct questions the student needs to pass a test.
For example, you may create a test with 10 questions and the student needs eight questions to pass or receive a certificate of completion. The mastery score will be eight.
- This graphic shows a test with six questions. To receive a mastery, the student must answer four questions correctly.
- Weight provides the course creator with a way to give the student extra credit for difficult questions or no credit for a easy question.
- An average question may have a weight of one (point) while a difficult question may have a weight of three (points).
It's True! If there are four questions on a test, three questions may have a weight of one while one question may have a weight of three. The student can pass the test if the mastery score is three, the student gets three one point questions wrong and the one three point question correct.
Tip Survey questions are not graded and are not included in a mastery score.
