What does the value in the "Total" column mean?
The values in the "Total" column are calculated as follows:
- Sum the number of correctly answered questions in the row of a particular student or class. The number of correctly answered questions is displayed in the nominator within the score bubble.
- Sum the total number of questions in a quiz/exam in the row of a particular student or class. The total number of questions is displayed in the denominator within the score bubble.
- Divide the number of correctly answered questions (see Step 1 above) by the total number of questions (see Step 2 above).
- Multiply the result obtained in Step 3 above by 100%.
For example, Student 001 attempted Times Quiz, Learning Quiz, PMP Exam 1, PMP Exam 2, and PMP Exam 3. Below is the calculation of the value in the "Total" column for Student 001:
- The sum of the correctly answered questions is 16 + 13 + 109 + 116 + 128 = 382.
- The total number of questions is 30 + 20 + 180 + 180 + 180 = 590.
- The quotient is 382 / 590 = 0.65.
- The result expressed as a percentage is 0.65 x 100% = 65%.
The following screenshot demonstrates the calculation of the value in the "Total" column.
