If they do not exceed the average exam grade, they have no effect. Overall grading is then weighted based on total questions of prep test exceedingaverage exam grade. Instructor maintains a no contest grading policy. This means if a test question answer is challenged and documented as to how a student came to the answer, the instructor considers the question and documentation only if changing it to correct changes the student's course letter grade. This policy is limited to a reasonable number of questions.
Students performing course work, taking prep test achieve high exam grades.
