We Work Hard...For the Money


It's been pretty hectic on my end. The exam I gave turned out a little different than I thought. I redid it three times because my coworker kept saying "It's too easy...It's too easy." So I got a little tired of constantly re-editing it (It's very time consuming to come up with questions) so I just went online and threw in SAT questions. Ofcourse, I simplified them a bit....but the test still turned out to be ridiculously difficult. It turned out that the average grade on the exam was 50% with scores ranging from 16/60 to 48/60. Absolutely MISERABLE. But, in the end, an exam that's too hard is better than an exam that's too easy because then I would be sitting with a bunch of 100's and it wouldn't really tell me anything in terms of their ability. The above screenshot is of an excel chart of grades. (Ex. The first dot shows that 1 person scored 16 out of 60 questions.)
