Only 28 questions appear on your test when you expected 50 questions

Tests on your syllabus are listed by their point value, for example 50 points, NOT the number of questions on the test.  Some 50-point tests may have 50 questions.  But some tests may have items worth 2 points or 3 points each, so there will fewer number of questions on that test.  The number of points will still be equal to the stated amount, however.

 

Your score is lower than the number of correct items on your test or quiz

Usually, the incorrect items are easy to spot:

If it's a 100.0% (or anything above 0.0%) and green, then the answer was correct.  

If it's a 0.0% and red, then the answer was incorrect.

HOWEVER, sometimes the red correction doesn't show up.  For example, in multiple response items (where you have to choose more than one of the choices given) an error is not directly marked in red.  Instead, the point value of the item will be reduced to show that you didn't do it correctly.  For example, the point value will be listed as 0/1 to show that you received 0 points on a 1-point item.  Or it may state 1/3 to show that you received only one point for a 3-point item.

So add up the point values for all the items in your test/quiz and it should equal the number assigned by WebCT.
