There are two simultaneous equations:
In other words there are 10 questions each worth 3 points and 14 questions each worth 5 points.
100 points --------------- = 2.5 points per question 40 questions
Making the totally unjustified and quite possibly unlikely assumption that all questions are worth the same number of marks, each question would be worth 1/18 of the total number of points.
If all the questions are worth the same and the whole test is 100 points, then each question is worth 12.5 points
If the test is worth 100 points, each question would be worth approximately 2.86 points.
Assuming that you want a percentage grade, you'll have 100 points on the test. If we also assume that all of the questions are equally weighted (that is, some questions aren't worth more points than others) each correct question will be worth 100/35 points, or about 2.86 points. That means that if a student answered 25 of the 35 questions correctly, she would have a score of 25 * 2.86, or 71.5% Alternately, you could find a simple percentage by simply dividing the number of correct questions by the total number of questions. In our case, that would be 25/35, or .714, or 71.4%
You cannot know that. If you are told the total number of points for the test, you know (or count) the number of questions and you are told that each question is worth the same number of points then, and only then, each question is worth (total points/number of questions) points.

About 2.9 points, so 3
It depends on how many points each question is worth. If they are worth 1 point, 30, 2 points, 15, etc...

On a scale of 100 and all questions the same points, each question is 100/80 = 1.25 points eachAnswer:As points per question is the teacher's prerogative one question could be worth all the points with remaining 79 worth nothing. Some tests start off with an "Instructions" section which directs student to read all of the questions first, before answering any. The next to last question instructs the student to only do the last question.
5% of the total test score per question.
You get a 90 as a score when you miss 2 out of 20 questions because each question is worth 5 points.
