    A3 In-class Test - QUIZ

    You have 45 minutes to complete the quiz and review the correct answers. After this, the quiz will be closed.

    There are 40 multiple-choice questions.

    Each question has 1 or 2 correct answers. 

    Grading:

    Each question is graded on a scale of 0 to 1. 
    

    To achieve 1 point for a question, you have to select the correct answer, or answers, and have no wrong answers.
    

    • If a question has one right answer and you select it correctly, you get 1 point (as the correct answer is worth 1 point). However, if you also choose another answer, which is incorrect, you get 0.67 points (the correct answer being 1 point, the wrong answer leading to a reduction of -0.33 points).
      
      
    • If a question has two right answers and you select both correctly, you get 1 point (because each correct answer is worth 0.5). However, if you choose one right answer and one wrong answer you get 0 (the correct answer being 0.5 points, the wrong answer being -0.5 points).

    The overall quiz score will be graded out of 10 (because it is worth 10%).
