I have been trying to figure out an excel formula that will convert
test scores. I figured it out algebraically but not in Excel. First I will give the formula. Next the scenario. Test 1: has as passing point of 70 and a max of 100 Test 2: has a passing point of 50 and a max of 70 To do a linear transformation Call test1 y, and test2 x Substitute into y = ax+b At the passing score we get: 70 = a50+b At maximum score we get: 100 = a70+b Solve we a = 1.5 and b = -5 To convert test2 scores to a scale somewhat equivalent to test1 using the formula : 1.5x-5 So a score of 60 on test 2 will transform to a score of 85 y=(1.5) 60 - 5 = 90- 5= 85. What I would like to do is put Test1 scores in Range A. Test 2 scores in Range B. Then In range e1: 70, In range F1:100 In range E2: 50 and rangeF2: 70. Then have a formula in Range C that will give me the scores. |
