@rogerphelps9939 A silly slip at the end makes a building collapse, or a food inedible, or a patient die of an overdose, etc. I am definitely on board with scoring some points for getting most of a question right, but definitely not close to the full mark. The point of education is to train people to do well, to the best of their abilities. Most people don't score the maximum points, and that's fine. But if you get almost full marks for the wrong answers, what's the incentive to do better?
In an ideal world, all students who got most of the questions right would get advice from their teachers, so that they can improve. But the reality is that when many students make mistakes, it gets increasingly harder to find time to help everyone individually. If the parents can't afford private tutoring, the least they can do is talk to other parents to let their kids get together to do study with those who know. I helped a few of my colleagues in elementary school, and it felt great to be that helpful to them. My colleagues did better, and their parents appreciated me. In high-school, I ended up getting private tutoring because I was hopelessly behind (losing focus sucks).
My point is that as long as we care about decent results, we can handle the stuff that seems too difficult. Students aren't required to excel, but to pass.
