Formula Used

Adjusted MCQ Correct = Correct − (Incorrect × Penalty)

MCQ Percentage = Adjusted MCQ Correct ÷ Total MCQs × 100

FRQ Percentage = (AAQ Points + EBQ Points) ÷ (AAQ Maximum + EBQ Maximum) × 100

Weighted MCQ Score = MCQ Percentage ÷ 100 × MCQ Weight

Weighted FRQ Score = FRQ Percentage ÷ 100 × FRQ Weight

Estimated Composite = Weighted MCQ Score + Weighted FRQ Score

The composite is compared with editable estimated thresholds. Actual score conversions can vary between administrations.
