Yesterday I received an email from another math teacher, asking me to grade a student's test. It was the last test of last semester, and the student questioned that teacher's grade--so the teacher wanted a "second opinion". He sent me the student's test as well as the worked out solution key, but no guidance whatsoever on how much partial credit to give on problems. All I knew was the total point value for each problem.
So I got to work, grading the test according to my own standards. Had I been the person grading the test for real, that test would have received a 49%.
I sent the test back to the teacher who had originally sent it to me. He was satisfied, as by his grading the student had received a 48%.
As far as I'm concerned, that's some pretty consistent grading.
