The Grade Book tab is where you input the values you want the program to use to
automatically grade your tests and update the grade book for the class.
Note: It is very important to complete this before students start testing. If this tab is not filled out or filled out incorrectly, students might see incomplete or inaccurate grades.
Class Passing Percentage*: The percentage a student needs to pass this class.
Grading Method *: Raw scores are a simple percentage of questions answered correctly. Cut score-based grading considers the difficulty of the material tested, grades students accordingly, and provides a much more accurate view of their competency.
Test Type: Quiz, Test, Module Exam, and Final. This refers to the Test Type when creating exams. You can edit the name of the type in the grade book, but note that the new name will correspond to the text next to it when creating the exams.
Grade Type Description*: This is where you can change the name of the Test Type in your grade book.
Test Pass % *: The percentage a student needs to pass a specific test of that Test Type.
% of Grade *: The percentage that a test type contributes to the student's overall grade in the class. If you are not using that type or do not want it to count toward the overall grade, set the percentage to 0.
Offline Grade Type Description *: Any additional assignment categories that are not managed within EMSTesting but you want to track in the grade book. Feel free to add as many as necessary.
