how do they grade our exams?

  1. do they take into account world-wide performance before setting the cutoff score? 2) do they re-normalize the scores to your home country? 3) do they hand-verify the ovals to check that the computer did not mess up because you did not erase or color in an oval exactly?

yeah, does anybody know about #3 above? I changed about 10 of my answers total, and it was impossible to get everything to erase completely.

  1. They do not except in a very general way. If you didn’t erase completely, you took on grading risk.
