Q2: How do I handle partial credit questions?
A: For partial credit, you may need to calculate total points earned divided by total possible points, then convert to percentage.
Q3: Can this calculator handle decimal scores?
A: The calculator rounds to one decimal place for clarity, but the underlying calculation uses precise values.
Q4: What if I have zero correct answers?
A: The calculator will correctly show 0% as the test score.
Q5: Is this suitable for all types of tests?
