Abstract

Many examinations contain both a multiple choice question (MCQ) section, which has wide-marking and is often norm-based, and an essay or other section which is criterion-based and often close-marked. The necessary addition or averaging of the marks is unsatisfactory without adjustment. We propose a procedure that adjusts the MCQ marks to the essay marking scale by equating the interquartile ranges of the two sets of marks.
