problem with a function to calculate weighted test score
OK, I am at a dead-end coming up with a formula for raw scores on student's
tests. I want to create a formula that takes two values: A-test grade on m/c questions B-test grade on a short answer question A has to be 60% of the grade, B has to be 40% of the grade. A raw score above 75 points is 100% I have (so far): =sum(A+B)/75 and that returns a value that is close to what I am looking for. However, I now need to make A 60% of the grade and B 40% of the grade. I am hoping I am tired, but I am just staring at the screen. Thanks in advance for any help. If it is really simple answer, I am going to bang my head on the desk. Thanks-Drew |

=(A1*60%)+(B1*40%) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Drew P." wrote: OK, I am at a dead-end coming up with a formula for raw scores on student's tests.

Then I was right, sort of; it has now come to me. We had that part, but the
number was not coming out. I realize that the error was in the next calculation. We were looking for 75% right on the original grade to be our score. It had to be 75% of the results from the formula below. Thank you for your help. I have banged my head on the desk...
