First, here is a copy of the test that students took:

Students received two grades on the test:
- The multiple choice was scored out of 20 points, but their were 3 extra credit questions available for a total of 23 points possible. Further, an extra credit tri-hybrid cross problem was available earlier in the week and correct responses or thorough responses received an extra 20% (or 4 points) on the test. The highest score on this portion of the test was a 26/20 or a 130%. Note: I weighted this portion of the test double in the grade book by taking student scores, doubling them, and then making the test out of 40 points (so an equivalent fraction... same percentage... same grade).
- The open response/punnett square portion of the test was composed of 4 punnett squares worth 8 points each (2 points for each part of the problem). The test was graded out of 32 points, but with the tri-hybrid cross extra credit, the highest possible score was a 39/32 or a 122%, a score achieved by 1 student with a number of other students close on their heels.
