    Good evening.

    How do i calculate my marks the way cima does. i see on the results they say 100/150 yet we write 60 question.

    Please may you help me to understand their scoring methodology.

    Thank you
    Sharon

    It is not straightforward. This link attempts to explain the process:

    https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.cimaglobal.com/Documents/Student%2520docs/2015-exams/CIMA-OT-Scaled-Scores.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwirzfD0x73xAhXl0eAKHYMDADUQFjADegQICxAF&usg=AOvVaw2-UzvJNFT2Mgit8Gaj7bf-

    The results are put through a statistical process that attempts to ensure adjustments are made to scores to ensure all exams in a paper are equivalent in difficulty of passing.

    So, to pass you need at least 100/150 in scaled marks. If there are 60 questions that does not directly equate to 40/60. If an exam is judged to be on the hard side it would be possible to get 100/150 (the scaled score) by getting only 37/60 questions right (the raw score).

    There is no fixed raw score pass mark but they aim to obtain a fixed pass standard.
