Correlation between ECE practice exam and actual exams

[cbeuser]

Greetings,

ECE staff could offer no help on this question, so I’ll ask each of you what your experience reveals.

I've completed the two Ethics practice exams and I have no feel for whether or not my performance will merit at least a 'c' on the actual exam. So, if I want to use the practice exams as a benchmark as to whether or not I’m ready for the actual exam, what is a reasonable numerical to letter grade translation?

Clear as mud?

Thank you.

Thank you.

There were six categories graded on my test. My highest score was 80% and my lowest was 56%. That got me an A on the Ethics exam. However, my scores were much higher for Org Behavior and HRM and I received a B for those.

It is pretty close, Im not sure about grade correlation, but I would definately say that if you are passing the practice exams, then you will pass the actual exams. Another good thing about the ECE Ethics exam is a lot of the scenario story questions from the practice exams reappear in the actual exam. Only the questions about the scenarios are different.

Thank you for the observation regarding the content similarities between the exams. This is most helpful. However, I wonder what a “passing” grade on the practice exam correlates to.

I used the Ethics practice exams, but I can't remember what I did on them. I used them for Abnormal Psych, too, and I do remember that I scored a 77/100 on both practice tests. I ended up with an A on the actual exam.
