By default, all sections in a test are weighted equally, meaning each section contributes the same proportion to the total score. The Customize Section Weights feature allows you to override this default and assign different weights to sections based on their importance.
Not all sections of a test are equally significant. Some may measure critical competencies, while others are designed for supplementary evaluation. Customizing section weights allows you to:
Enable the feature by selecting Active under Customize Section Weights in Test Settings.
Assign weights to each section. Weights are typically entered as percentages or points.
The system calculates the overall test score by applying these weights proportionally to each section’s results.
If a test-taker scores 80 in Vocabulary and 70 in Grammar, their final score will reflect the weighted distribution.
