Transmutation Table Computation

This document outlines Episcope's formula for transmuting scores on a test into equivalent letter grades. It provides two formulas, one for the percentage increment (I(p)) and one for the fixed increment (I(f)), that are used to calculate the grade corresponding to each score. Examples are given for tests with 40% and 50% success levels at both the college/high school and elementary levels. The formulas use the highest possible score (hs), passing score (ps), lowest score (ls), highest grade (hg), passing grade (pg), and lowest grade (lg) to determine the increments subtracted from scores to assign grades.

Episcopes Formula of Transmutation of Scores into Equivalent Grades

A. College Level
e.g 50 item test/ 40% level of success
hs = 50 ps = 50X.40= 20 ls = 0
hg = 1.0 pg = 3.0 lg = 5.0

Formulas
I(p) = hs ps = 50-20
hg pg

I(f) = ps - ls
