Grading Is Wrong/Unfair

Question

I got 5 out of 60 on the first run through and 0 out of 60 on the second. My scores were far better than that as compared to what grades I was given as I went along. Also, I didn't realize we needed to put punctuation at first so made many "errors" on that. Also, you should tell test takers that a group of words is a phrase, not a statement so we'll know to put in a comma or semicolon.

Hola Susan S.
The grading system is designed to take punctuation and capitalization into account, since these are part of written Spanish accuracy. However, we understand that this can sometimes feel frustrating, especially on a first attempt when users may not yet realize punctuation is required.
Your comments about making the instructions clearer, particularly regarding punctuation and distinguishing phrases from complete statements, are very helpful, and we’ll pass them on to the team for consideration.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience!
