The Rule of 13 and Its Variants for More Efficient Student Assessment and Grading
The Rule of 13 and Its Variants for More Efficient Student Assessment and Grading

Summary/Abstract: This article proposes a new scoring method primarily developed for written student examinations. Even though the study was initially developed with the Romanian and other European grading systems in mind, the algorithm herein discussed and proposed can be easily scaled and/or extended to other forms of examination, longer or shorter, such as independent scientific/technical trainings, high school written evaluation, entrance or graduation exams. The main benefits would be increased evaluation speed and avoidance of any evaluation disparities by minimizing the intrinsic uncertainty specific to knowledge evaluation. The algorithm has been successfully applied to several internal multiple choice written tests and, based on its demonstrated performances, it complies with the official education regulations and procedures currently imposed on educational assessment and evaluation.
