Question about a math placement question. (Most likely a dumb one.)

by "-Lost" <maventheextrawords@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jan 2, 2008 at 03:22 PM

I'm starting a new degree and had to take a math placement test -- of 
course I bombed as usual.  The minimum requirement was 41, I got a 21.

Anyway, one problem that perplexed me slightly was:

Mark took a French exam that consisted of 50 questions.  He got an 80% 
on 15 true or false questions and a 60% on 35 multiple choice 
questions.

I couldn't figure it out, but ended up guessing that it was 70.  Then I 
ran it past the spouse and they muttered, while barely paying 
attention, "Wouldn't it be 70?"

So is it just the average of the 2 scores?  The number of problems 
doesn't matter?

Thanks as always.
