Just score the multiple-choice questions on a test, and if the test isn't multiple-choice, then we won't score it. Also, we could assign points for each multiple choice/identification... 1 point each I guess...

I thought that some of the answer keys included each question's value. Or at least with a common value for each question in a section.

How about all of the people who claim to have tests post them on the wiki page and then we will all be happy.

I How about the first person to submit the test gets to edit it (just copy it to word and re-submit it) to come up with a scoring system for that specific test. It should add up to the possible score listed on the first page, and then you post your score on the score board, with the specific test name.

Well, whatever you arrange, I'd rather it didn't modify that wiki page (sorry Sciolykid101) or the tests themselves. Also, many of the tests are PDFs, so you can't edit them in word. But why don't you upload some tests and worry about scoring later >.>

Just remember that the point of the test exchange is to provide valuable practice material for participants, not to brag about what you got. Adding scoring may confuse it too much and might be too much work for DS.

We should make posting a test a requirement for viewing the other tests.

No. Because I'd be willing to wager that most people simply don't have a test available to post. It's not that they don't want to post a test, it's that they don't have one available. Then you're discriminating against them.

It would be making it an exchange, not a free for all.

Your being too protective of your tests, if you don't like it being like it is don't post anything simple as that
