Schedule of Mastery Test Deadlines & Grading Procedures
Since the Khan Academy Mastery Tests determine more than half of your grade, it is important that you understand the test deadlines and how your grades are calculated.
Below you will find a weekly list of tests to be completed before 7:00 pm on the date given. All deadlines are on Saturday evenings, in order to give you an extra full day to complete them. Your grades for these tests will be determined as follows:
A: Mastery achieved before deadline: 100% grade for that test.
B: Mastery not achieved by deadline: Because the more you practice anything, the better you will become, you will receive 2 points for each question you answer, correct or not. Your maximum grade (if you answer 35 or more questions) will be 70%. If you were to answer 35 questions but not be able to answer 10 in a row correctly, you will receive a grade of 70%. If you attempt to answer no questions, your grade will be 0%
C: Mastery is achieved within 5 days after the deadline: In this case, your grade will move up to 80%. This grade is only for those who achieve mastery within 5 days of the deadline.
