Understanding Score Tiers: How to Convert Points to Percentages

When setting up Score Tiers in ScoreApp, it’s important to understand that the “Score From” and “Score To” fields represent percentage values, not point values, even if your scorecard is displaying actual points to the user.

Information

The system calculates and assigns score tiers based on the percentage of the total possible score, not on raw point values. This ensures your tier logic works consistently regardless of the total number of points in your quiz.

Converting Points to Percentages

If you want to base your tiers on points, you’ll need to convert those point values into percentages using this formula:

Points / Total Points Possible) × 100 = Percentage

Example:

Let’s say your quiz has 4 total points. You want to assign tiers as follows:

You’d then enter your Score Tiers in ScoreApp like this:

🟩 Tier name 1: 0 - 25

🟨 Tier name 2: 50 - 75

🟥 Tier name 3: 76 - 100

Choosing how to Display Your Results

You can select to display the scores on the results page as the actual score, as a percentage or out of 10.

• Go to the Build section of your scorecard.
• Navigate to the Results Page.

• Click on the section that displays the score (e.g., donut chart or text).
• In the right-side menu, go to Display Options.

• Under the Overall Score format, choose your preference from the drop-down menu

  

You can then choose how to present the category scores, which includes the following formats:

• Actual Percent = score as a percentage of that category’s total possible points.
• Relative Percent = score shown as a share of 100% across all categories combined.
• Actual Score = the raw points a user achieved in that category (e.g., 15 out of 20).
• Out of 10 = score normalised to a 0–10 scale for easier comparison.
