i had the first test in 2009 today. Subject: Economics. If i told you the test was 15minutes long and there's no open-ended questions, only MCQ and true and false questions, i'm sure you'd think that it wouldn't be too hard. Haa for the complacency.
The questions were very tricky. sigh.. even MCQs and true and false questions could be hard.
Anyway there were 15 questions. For every correct answer, 1 mark is awarded and for every incorrect answer, 1 mark is deducted. No marks is awarded for a blank answer. The base mark is 15. So if you attempted all and got one wrong, you'd get 13/15 but if you left one blank and got the rest correct you'd get 14/15! This also means that 4 wrong answers are sufficient to get u a 'fail' :) ARRGH.
Victoria was right.. if all questions were attempted and incorrect, one would get -15. On the other hand, if all are correct one would get 15! If that's the case the range of marks is from -15 to 15 and since the conventional passing mark is 50%, one can leave all blank and get 0 which still constitutes a pass :D
However, life is never fair. (proven by mr chen) oh wells. at most fail~
