Test and Quiz Taking
- Tests / Exams are taken and scored only once (Precentage score received is your final score).
- Quizzes can be taken again if the cadet is not satisfied with the score received on the first quiz. If the cadet elects to re-take the quiz, the scoring process is as
follows:
+ First score is entered into GradeLink.
+ Cadet takes a pre-scheduled re-take quiz (different quiz with same basic questions asked).
+ Average taken between first and second (re-take) quiz.
> Example: First quiz score 60% (D-) -- Second quiz score 100% (A) -- Average quiz score 80% (B-)
+ Original percentage score removed from GradeLink with new (average) percentage score being put in its place.
