You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if i understand this correctly, you got a 12 and an 18.
\n" ); document.write( "since the 12 is worth 60% and the 18 is worth 40%, then your weighted score would be 60% * 12 + 40% * 18 = 14.4 which would put you in the C14 category if they categorize you to the nearest integer.
\n" ); document.write( "it appears they are scoring from 0 to 20 where 0 = 0 and 20 = 100%
\n" ); document.write( "this means that the ratio of score units to grade percentage points is equal to 5.
\n" ); document.write( "this means that if you score a 12, then your grade percentage for the test was 12 * 5 = 60, and if you score an 18, then your grade percentage for the test was 18 * 5 = 90.
\n" ); document.write( "60% * 60 and 40% * 90 equals an overall grade percentage of 72.
\n" ); document.write( "based on the ratio, an overall grade percentage of 72 results in a score of 14.4 units because 72/5 = 14.4.
\n" ); document.write( "that's what i think anyway.
\n" ); document.write( "your overall score would be 14.4 which puts you closer to C14 than to B15 which would round you into the C14 category.
\n" ); document.write( "that's what i think anyway.\r
