Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. Regarding your concerns:
1) Only number-picker and fill-the-blank type questions require calculating a number and typing in the answer. However you are free to choose any question you want on your test, as well as create your own questions.
2) This is not true. Partial scores are always recognized and included in the calculation of the total score. The only exception are questions that cannot have a partial answer, such as multiple-choice questions that allow selecting only 1 answer out of several options. You can find more details about our scoring system here: https://testdome.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/44002267103-question-types-and-scoring
3) We're not sure what you mean by example graph. Are you referring to the score distribution shown on each question? This is calculated after at least 100 candidates solve the question. Employers hiring junior candidates usually use Easy questions, while those hiring senior candidates tend to pick Hard questions. This is why the score distribution can be misleading if you compare questions with different difficulties, as Senior candidates often score better on Hard questions than Junior candidates do on Easy questions. Also, what is considered a “Senior” candidate can vary between different companies, depending on their understanding of seniority. This is why you may notice some candidates achieving scores that are noticeably different compared to the score distribution chart.
4) Our finance questions were developed with experts in the field who have both academic knowledge and wide real-world experience. However, they were designed to be broadly applicable to financial situations, so may not map precisely onto specific sectors or experiences.
5) It's possible to get a score of 70% and be in the 99th percentile if the test is hard and few candidates get a high score. However you decide what the passing score is, so you can increase it for harder tests.
