How are assessment scores and total time determined?

Published

This article explains how the Overall Assessment Score and Total Time Used displayed on a Certificate of Proficiency are calculated.

HuntCode calculates assessment results using industry-standard methods to ensure scores and timing accurately reflect learner performance.

Overall Assessment Score

The overall assessment score is calculated using a weighted method based on the total number of questions across all required assessments. Rather than averaging individual percentages, the final score reflects the total number of correct answers divided by the total number of questions attempted.

This approach ensures that longer or more comprehensive assessments are weighted appropriately and aligns with common certification and institutional grading standards.

Total Time Used

Total time used represents the cumulative time spent completing all required module assessments. This time is measured against the maximum allowed time for the certification path and reflects only active assessment time.

Time tracking helps demonstrate exam discipline and completion under defined constraints, which is a key component of proficiency-based certification.
