Enter the total points and the number of questions into the calculator to determine the points awarded per question. This calculator helps in evenly distributing points across all questions in an exam or quiz.
Points Per Question Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the points per question.
PPQ = TP / NQ
Variables:
- PPQ is the points per question
- TP is the total points available in the exam or quiz
- NQ is the number of questions
To calculate the points per question, divide the total points available by the number of questions in the exam or quiz.
What is Points Per Question?
Points per question is a measure used to determine how many points each question in an exam or quiz is worth. It ensures that each question contributes equally to the final score. This is particularly useful for educators and students to understand the weight of each question and to allocate time and effort accordingly during preparation and examination.
How to Calculate Points Per Question?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Points Per Question.
- First, determine the total points available in the exam or quiz (TP).
- Next, determine the number of questions (NQ).
- Use the formula PPQ = TP / NQ.
- Finally, calculate the Points Per Question (PPQ).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Total points available in the exam (TP) = 100 points
