Points Per Question Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Points Per Question (PPQ) is:

\[ \text{PPQ} = \frac{\text{TP}}{\text{NQ}} \]

Where:

\( \text{PPQ} \) is the Points Per Question
\( \text{TP} \) is the Total Points Available
\( \text{NQ} \) is the Number of Questions

What is Points Per Question?

Points per question is a measure used to determine how many points each question in an exam or quiz is worth. It ensures that each question contributes equally to the final score. This is particularly useful for educators and students to understand the weight of each question and to allocate time and effort accordingly during preparation and examination.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Points Available (TP) = 100
Number of Questions (NQ) = 20

Using the formula to calculate the Points Per Question:

\[ \text{PPQ} = \frac{100}{20} = 5 \]

Each question is worth 5 points.
