Precision in scoring: introducing section-based score calculation in export

Who benefits from this update?

Education: from middle school to university

High school & University exams

Educators often assess multiple skills within a single subject. Section-based scores make it easier to pinpoint where students excel or need improvement.

• Mathematics — The algebra, geometry, and calculus sections can be graded separately to identify which concepts students struggle with.
• Science — A physics exam might have theoretical, practical, and problem-solving sections, requiring students to meet minimum standards in each.
• History and social studies — Assessing critical thinking, factual recall, and essay writing separately gives a more complete picture of student learning.

Standardized testing & College admissions

Many entrance exams require section-based scores to evaluate well-rounded academic abilities.

• SAT/ACT — Universities often individually set minimum math, reading, and writing requirements.

• Placement tests — Language and math placement exams categorize students into appropriate course levels based on section scores.

Language Proficiency Exams (IELTS, TOEFL, DELF, etc.)

For language certifications, test-takers must meet minimum score requirements across multiple sections—speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing—to qualify for a specific level. A single overall score doesn't reflect whether someone meets the requirements in all categories.

Professional certifications & licensing exams

• Cybersecurity certifications (CISSP, CEH, etc.): Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in different domains (e.g., risk management, cryptography).
• Legal and finance exams (CPA, CFA, Bar exams): Passing criteria often include achieving a minimum score in multiple knowledge areas.

Hiring & skills assessments

Recruiters and hiring managers need detailed breakdowns of candidates' skills, especially in technical roles:

• Software engineering — A test may include separate coding, logic, and algorithms sections. A high overall score doesn't help if a candidate struggles in a critical area.
• Customer support roles — Assessments might separately evaluate product knowledge, communication skills, and problem-solving.


Corporate Training & Compliance Assessments

Companies running internal training programs (e.g., safety training, compliance certification) must ensure employees perform well in every key area before considering them "certified."

How this improves your assessment workflow

With our update, your exports now include Score, Percentage, and Max Points per section, making it easier to:

• Identify performance gaps across different categories
• Ensure candidates meet minimum section scores for certification or hiring
• Generate more apparent reports for stakeholders (recruiters, educators, certification bodies)

Built for Precision, Designed for Reliability

We didn't just add a feature—we ensured it was accurate, stable, and seamlessly integrated into your existing workflow. Whether running high-volume assessments with thousands of participants or small team evaluations, your data is now more structured and actionable than ever.
